An etude with a platband

My painting depicts an ancient window with an exquisite wooden casing, which testifies to the former beauty and elegance of a bygone era. This window, decorated with intricate carvings, stands out against the faded walls of an old house, reminiscent of the times when the city was full of life and beauty. The casing is made in the best traditions of folk craftsmanship: its patterns are intricately intertwined, forming floral motifs and bizarre geometric shapes. Every detail is carved with love and care. A window with a beautiful casing is a portal to the past, a bridge between epochs, which allows us to feel a connection with our ancestors and realize the value of every moment. From a series of sketches with platbands of the city of Tomsk.
