I want to tell you about Serov's masterpiece. In this painting Serov concentrated on the spontaneity of perception of the model and nature. On canvas depicts a young woman leaning back against a tree. She sits in a relaxed pose, her arms folded across her lap. She has dark hair that is gathered from behind. The girl looks at the artist, there is a barely perceptible smile on her lips. Lace collar blouse with a beautifully framed by girl's neck. the dark belt fastens at the waist over blouse. Girl's hands lie on a dark blue skirt. The model is sitting in the shade. We can see trees brightly lit by the sun in the background. Preferred a dominant scale of black-grey or brown tones in this painting. In the development of light and color, the harmony of reflections, the sense of atmospheric saturation and the fresh, picturesque perception of the world, there appeared the features of early Russian impressionism.
