The social elements of the countryside theme are brightly incarnated in this painting by Fyodor Vasilyev. The cart ruts in the twisting road in the foreground evoke the impression of the poverty and hopelessness of peasant life. The lonely figure of the peasant woman disappearing into the distance adds spatial depth to the landscape.
