Painting titled "March" by renowned professional Russian painter Mikhail Arkadyevich Suzdaltsev (1917-1998). In this compositional portrait, the artist used the techniques of tonal and spatial-light painting, with an accurate transfer of the figurative characteristics of the character. The motif of nature, a sunny March day, helps to reveal the concept of the portrait, emphasizing the traditions of the Russian school of painting. Each sweeping brushstroke speaks of the maturity of the artist's skill about the modest lyricism of Russian nature in harmony with man inherent in this work. Suzdaltsev's art is devoid of tragic conflicts, his worldview is close to the people's, he draws his plots from the nature and people of Russia and this is what makes this artist unique. Vintage oil painting on hard artistic paperboard, signed, framed.
