Description

Author: Baytursynov, Dosymbek. 1946-1987
A genre composition with elements of a rural landscape depicting a child in the foreground within a hilly setting featuring a shelter and domestic animals. The composition is executed in a decorative generalized manner, with forms and space treated in a naive-symbolic way. In the background, a laden camel and a shanyrak evoke associations with a traditional way of life. The lower part of the composition includes small animal figures and decoratively rendered vegetation. The colour palette is based on muted greens, brown-ochre, and bluish tones.
