An atmospheric painted scene of a rural landscape, presumably executed in the 1880s–1890s by the distinguished Russian artist Julius von Klever. The composition is built on the contrast between the warm evening light and the dense mass of haycocks scattered across the field. A flock of birds rises above the horizon, adding gentle movement and symbolic depth to the scene.
The subtle use of color, sensitivity to atmospheric light, and generalized plasticity of form place the work within the circle of Klevers oeuvre and suggest a likely attribution to the early period of his artistic career. The painting is set in its original late 19th-century gilt frame with ornamental carving.
