Late autumn in the paintings of Russian artists

This really dull time has also been skillfully conveyed by many painters. Firstly, the singer of the golden autumn Levitan did not shun this topic. His canvas "The Road in the Village" depicts an impassable dirt in which the steps and wheels of wagons get stuck. Naked osocks are joyless and lonely tremble in the wind, and the sky is all covered with leaden clouds. In his painting "The Summer Garden in Autumn" I.
