DESCRIPTION
The symbolic image of the seasons as a beautiful woman dates back to the Antique times. Maria Knyazeva interprets the traditional plot of the seasons change, namely, the onset of winter in her own way. The naked red-haired woman is lying under the white blanket on the golden carpet composed of fallen leaves while the white snow flakes are slowly whirling in the frosty air. We feel no sadness about the coming cold weather, winds or snowstorms or longing for them. Only the stressed decorative moment expressed in the pure white snow falling down on the colorful gold of the leaves and making incomparable cloak rich in shades, produces the impression of serenity and peace.
