The artwork titled “Kama,” created by Ivan Shishkin in 1895, is a part of the Realism art movement and falls under the genre of sketch and study.
The artwork depicts a detailed landscape scene with elements meticulously rendered to capture the natural beauty typical of Shishkin’s style. The composition includes a panoramic view of a river, surrounded by dense forests and rolling hills. The careful shading and line work suggest a depth and texture, characteristic of a preliminary study. Towering trees dominate the right side of the artwork, leading the viewer’s eye toward the water body and the distant horizon line. The sky, filled with expressive cloud formations, adds a dynamic quality to the scene. The overall depiction reflects the Realist focus on meticulous observation and representation of the natural world.
