Popov is a typical representative of the Moscow landscape school. His work is directly related with images of the Russian provinces. Village Yard presumably belongs to a list of works for which the artist received a minor gold medal in 1861. Careful attention to peasant life, the naturalistic descriptiveness, and the "story" of the everyday life of village residents are all characteristic of Russian art of the 1860s.
