An Encounter with Nature

Description

Author: Velikanova, Regina. 1894-1972
A landscape composition depicting a winter forest. In the foreground, a girl on skis is shown looking upward. The curved tree trunks and snow-covered branches create a complex rhythm of lines and convey a sense of spatial depth. In the background, a fence and a building can be seen. The restrained painterly manner and tonal unity convey the quietness of winter, a contemplative mood, and the harmony between humanity and nature. There is a signature and date at the bottom right.
