The canvas Winter is a wonderful example of Korovin’s mastery of painting. Here, a series of widely spaced separate strokes of yellow coveys the drifts and the old snow on the hills, creating the effect of the sky clearing up at the horizon. The red spot of the scarf of the hurrying peasant, buoyed by the blue-green shimmer of the forest in the distance, amplifies the image’s energy.
