Beautiful evocation of winter transport in Imperial Russia. Three galloping horses, a bearded coachman in a heavy coat, and a bundled-up man in a troika speeding across the snow.
The whole, lively and harmonious, is in the style of the Polish painter Alexander Orlowski, master of dynamic and popular Russian scenes.
Oil on metal, period giltwood frame with a title painted directly on the wood. Very good overall condition.
Frame 46x38 cm.
A striking image of the elegance and energy of 19th-century Russian transport.
