Oaks. Evening is a 1894 oil by Ivan Shishkin, a Realism work, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
This painting shows a group of tall trees with thick trunks and branches. The trees are surrounded by grass and other plants. The sky is not visible, but the light coming through the trees suggests it might be sunset or sunrise. The trees are painted in a lot of detail, with many shades of brown and green. The artist has used thick brushstrokes to show the texture of the tree trunks. The painting feels peaceful and calm. If you like this painting, you might want to look up the artist, Ivan Shishkin.
