This oil painting cardboard, titled "Geese in the autumn steppes", the artist skillfully uses thick, expressive brushstrokes to depict the rugged beauty of the steppes, where the land stretches endlessly under a vast sky. The composition is divided into two dominant elements: the earthy, golden-brown tones of the steppe and the expansive, swirling sky. The lower portion of the painting is filled with warm, textured brushstrokes that create depth and movement in the dry grasses. The golden fields are punctuated by small patches of green, suggesting the last remnants of summer’s vibrancy. The use of impasto gives the painting a tactile quality, making the viewer almost feel the rough terrain beneath their feet. In the foreground, a group of geese is depicted, scattered across the field. Their bright white feathers contrast sharply against the warm, earthy background, drawing the eye toward their gentle presence. The geese appear to be foraging or resting, adding a sense of tranquility to the otherwise vast and open space. Their forms are suggested with bold, confident strokes rather than finely detailed rendering, emphasizing movement and liveliness. Towering over the scene, tall, slender trees with golden foliage stand against the sky. Their elongated forms create a rhythmic vertical element that breaks the horizontal expanse of the steppe. The trees appear windswept, with their leaves rendered in a mix of warm yellows and muted browns, reinforcing the autumnal atmosphere. Their placement adds a sense of balance to the composition, leading the viewer’s gaze upward toward the sky. The sky itself is a masterpiece of expressive color and dynamic brushwork. Swirls of deep blue, soft white, and hints of purple create a sense of movement, as if the wind is rushing across the vast openness of the landscape. The clouds appear in motion, echoing the change of seasons and the fleeting nature of autumn. The contrast between the cool tones of the sky and the warm hues of the land adds depth and a dreamlike quality to the painting. The painting conveys a sense of freedom and solitude, characteristic of the vast steppes, while also celebrating the small yet vital presence of life within it. The brushwork and color choices evoke the crisp air of autumn, the gentle rustling of dry grass, and the distant calls of geese as they move through the landscape.
