The present oil painting is a beautiful work by the Russian artist Valerian Vitalievich Babadin and dates back to 1901. It depicts a spruce forest with a river in the center and charming light effects on the water surface. The central trees and spruce needles have been executed with rich impasto to render the plants a plastic depth. In comparison, the edges of the painting have been painted in a rather impressionistic style, so that the contours seem to visually disappear.



The painting is signed in Cyrillic and dated lower left ‘V. Babadin […] 1901‘. It is verso numbered, signed with monogram and inscribed in Cyrillic ‘N3025 V.B. […]’. There is a small color abrasion in the center, which has been superficially restouched. Besides, the edges of the painting are affected by light marks due to previous framing. The size of the stretcher is 51 x 67 cm.
