One of the few landscapes painted in oil by Dobuzhinsky, this is still a typical work by the melancholy poet of St. Petersburg. The view from above intensifies the expressive volumes and outlines of the conglomeration of absurd constructions filling the courtyard at the foot of the gigantic tenement block, and the fragile, bare branches of the trees in the wretched garden, hemmed in by the blank walls of the buildings.
