About this work

You see a tiny wood engraving of a village: a rainbow arches over a mill, a cow grazes, and trees lean in the wind. The lines are rough, almost like a sketch carved into wood. Kupreianov made this in 1917, the year Russia’s revolution began. The scene feels quiet, but the date gives it weight—like a snapshot of life just before everything changed. If you like how the lines feel alive, look up the technique of engraving.
