The artwork, titled “Alyonushka (study),” is an oil painting on canvas created by the artist Viktor Vasnetsov in 1881. It belongs to the Romanticism art movement and is categorized under the genre of sketch and study. Presently, the artwork is displayed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia.
The artwork portrays a young girl seated in a contemplative and melancholic pose, resting her head on her folded arms and knees. The girl is barefoot, clad in a simple dress, and surrounded by an overgrown meadow with scattered flowers. The earthy, muted colors and the soft, delicate brushstrokes evoke a sense of solitude and introspection, capturing a moment of quiet reflection in nature.
