Soft goods. Rostov the Great is a 1905 watercolor by Konstantin Yuon, depicting Market, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
You're looking at a painting of a market scene. There are many people in long skirts and coats, some with headscarves, standing around stalls with colorful fabrics and goods on display. The scene is set in a snowy town square, with buildings visible in the background. The painting is done in watercolor, with soft, blended colors that give it a dreamy quality. The artist has captured the hustle and bustle of the market, with people going about their daily business.
