The artwork, titled “Trail,” was created by Isaac Levitan around 1895 in the Russian Federation. It belongs to the Realism art movement and is classified under the landscape genre.
The artwork presents a serene, verdant landscape rendered in a realistic style. Dominated by shades of green, the scene depicts a dirt trail meandering through a lush countryside. On either side of the path, dense foliage and verdant grasses encapsulate the essence of rural tranquility. The trail ascends a gentle hill, leading the viewer’s eye towards a modest structure partially obscured by trees in the background. The sky above is a blend of soft blues and muted tones, suggesting a calm, possibly overcast day. This composition captures both the simplicity and beauty of nature, emphasizing Levitan’s ability to convey the peaceful and unpretentious character of the Russian countryside.
