Transportation of Ice – Lev Lagorio

This captivating artwork presents a serene winter scene set in a quaint village, where the landscape is enveloped in a thick blanket of snow, creating a tranquil and picturesque atmosphere. In the foreground, a group of villagers gathers around a horse-drawn sled, laden with goods, as they engage in unloading and organising the items. The horse, poised and ready, adds a sense of movement to the stillness of the snowy environment. To the left, a man sits on a sled, perhaps taking a moment’s respite or waiting for his turn, with the sled anchored by a pole planted firmly in the snow, indicating its use for navigation through the winter terrain. In the background, a grand building with classical architectural features, including arched windows and a central dome, stands prominently, suggesting its importance as a church or town hall, partially cloaked in snow to enhance the wintry ambiance. To the right, a small wooden structure serves as a gathering point for villagers, who are engaged in conversation and various activities, further enriching the scene. A tall wooden pole in the distance hints at a windmill or utility structure, while the overcast sky casts a soft, diffused light over the entire landscape. This artwork beautifully encapsulates the essence of a winter village, making it a perfect choice for a print or canvas that brings warmth and charm to any space.
