From the collection of Tretyakov Gallery
Requiem. is a 1905 watercolor by Victor Borisov-Musatov, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
In the painting, a group of women in long dresses are gathered in a courtyard. The scene is rendered in muted colors, with the women's clothing and the background blending together in shades of white, gray, and brown. The women are positioned in a loose circle, with some facing each other and others looking away. The artist's use of watercolor paint creates a soft, dreamy quality, with the colors blending together to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the women are lost in thought. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up the watercolor painting method of glazing.
