This painting shows a river scene with a city in the background. There are boats on the water and people on the shore. The sky is cloudy and the colors are muted. In the foreground, there are people gathered near the water's edge, some of them looking out at the boats. The city buildings are visible in the distance, with a large building on the left side of the painting. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth in the painting. You might also want to look up the work of Štšedrin, Silvestr Feodosievitš.
