Noon on the Pondnevaya River

Astrakhan is famous for its many large and small rivers. It is in the Volga delta that the best fishing is possible. In his painting, the artist depicted a sultry summer afternoon, the river is calm, quiet, its surface looks like a painted mirror. But deep down there is the world of fish. Small longboats and fishing boats moored to the shore, wanting to rest a little after their morning catch, in the shade of the trees.
