Temirtau Reservoir

Description

Author: Nurmukhammedov, Nagimbek. 1924-1986
A river landscape featuring a sandy shore equipped with two large wooden rope reels and a boat right at the water’s edge in the foreground. On the left stands a house with a terrace, while low mountains stretch along the opposite bank. Executed in a plein-air study manner with light strokes; the forms are generalized, and details are sketched with quick touches of the brush. The palette relies on closely related ochre-sandy and bluish-grey tones, capturing the feel of a bright day and a tranquil sheet of water.
