The artwork, titled “Province,” was created by Kazimir Malevich in 1912. Executed in gouache on paper, this piece belongs to the Cubism art movement and measures 70.5 x 70.5 cm. It falls within the genre of genre painting and is currently housed in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The artwork displays a scene depicting figures in a provincial setting, rendered with the fragmented and geometric stylization characteristic of Cubism. The color palette is composed of warm and cool tones, creating a sense of depth and dimension. The figures appear to be engaged in everyday activities, enveloped by an abstract landscape made up of bold brushstrokes and simplified shapes. The use of gouache provides a matte finish that enhances the textural quality of the piece. The interplay of light and shadow is evident, adding to the overall dynamism and vibrancy of the scene.
