This painting is a typical example of the landscape studies that Isaac Ilyich Levitan produced throughout his career. It bears an inscription from Levitan's brother, Adolf Ilyich Levitan (1859-1933), authenticating the work. Adolf was also an artist, although he never achieved the success and renown of his brother. The inscription in Cyrillic at lower right reads: 'study by my brother, I Levitan, A Levitan'.
