Original artwork description:

This piece captures the serene harmony between tradition and nature. Using oil, I sought to evoke the peaceful rhythm of horse riding against the historic backdrop, blending impressionism’s warmth with realism’s detail. It brings a sense of calm energy and timeless beauty, inviting any space to breathe tranquility and connection with the past and present.
Trips to the plain-air to the old Russian city of Suzdal brought me quite a few impressions, one of the strong impressions is horseback riding. On the side of the day I painted another study and a couple of boys drove past on horseback, discussing the impressions of this day.
