The artwork titled “Landscape with a Woman” was created by artist Ivan Shishkin in 1872. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece belongs to the Realism art movement and falls under the genre of landscape painting. It is currently housed in the Taganrog Museum of Fine Arts located in Taganrog, Russia.
The artwork depicts a serene forest scene with a narrow path leading into the depths of the woods. Tall trees, their leaves starting to yellow, create a canopy of green, casting shadows and dappled light on the ground below. In the midst of this natural setting, a solitary woman is visible, dressed in traditional attire with a headscarf covering her head and carrying a basket. The intricate details and the realistic portrayal of nature capture the tranquil and contemplative atmosphere often favored in Shishkin’s works. The figure of the woman, small in comparison to the towering trees, evokes a sense of solitude and harmony with nature.
