At Pasture

Description

Author: Frolova, Valentina. 1915-1990
The landscape captures a vast, sunlit mountain slope down which a herd of chestnut and bay horses descends, setting the primary rhythm of the composition. In the background, the pale incline is bounded by alternating dark blue-green slopes that transition into cool blue-violet mountain ranges. In the foreground, to the left of a small yurt, stand the slender figures of a woman and a child. The vibrant palette is built on a contrasting interplay of light and dark greens, rich reddish-browns, and blue-violet hues. Broad, energetic brushstrokes and strong color contrasts heighten the dynamic energy of the composition and the majestic power of the mountain landscape. At the lower left - signature and date.
