Landscape Study attributed to Aleksey Savrasov (19th Century)

This item is a 19th-century oil on canvas painting, attributed to the renowned Russian landscape artist Aleksey Savrasov. The artwork, as viewed on a digital monitor, depicts a serene, atmospheric landscape dominated by a river or lake shoreline at dusk or dawn. The palette consists of muted earthy tones, including deep browns and blacks in the foreground and water, contrasted against soft pinks, grays, and whites in the hazy, luminous sky. The composition features several large, leafy trees on the right bank, with the silhouette of a small boat or rowboat visible on the shoreline to the left. The brushwork appears painterly and expressive, characteristic of the Realist school and the Wanderers movement, of which Savrasov was a founding member. The soft, diffuse light suggests a focus on mood and the lyrical beauty of the Russian countryside. While the physical painting is not directly observable, the digital image shows a high glare spot in the center from an external light source. A date stamp '04/21/2017' is superimposed on the right side of the screen image, indicating the time the photograph was captured. Appraisal would require a physical inspection to verify the texture of the oil application, canvas weave, and any potential signatures or inscriptions on the reverse.
