After the picture was completed by the author, it was purchased by Pavel Tretyakov. In his collection were already the work of Ostroukhova, however, this canvas Tretyakov was most proud of. In 1891, the painting “Siverko” was first presented to the public at an exhibition that took place in St. Petersburg.
On the canvas the artist depicted an elegant river bend. Thanks to the picturesque Russian nature Ostroukhov was where to draw inspiration. After all, the Russian land is rich in such landscapes. In the foreground is a river carrying its blue waters far into the distance. In some places you can notice the still water surface in which the
The deep river divides the land into two banks. One of them is sandy with a gentle descent, and the second, which occupies a significant part of the picture, is steep and overgrown with shrubs. On this side, the breath of the cold siverk is especially clearly felt. Thickets on the shore seemed to have become obedient and obeyed the will of the wind. The grass bowed under his gusts.
The sky is painted in gray-blue tones. Clouds under their weight float low above the horizon. A premonition of an impending storm is created. At the same time, the viewer feels ambiguous feelings of anxiety and admiration for the power of beautiful nature.
