An early study for a theme that would later grow into one of the artist's key works. The same motif - trees on the threshold of spring, snow and the first signs of warmth - but in a small, lyrical format.
The image is connected to Mikhail Sholokhov's novel "And Quiet Flows the Don." Here the artist first approaches this theme - still on a modest scale, but already with the same inner tone.
