1990 Artist V.Vasilyev Oil painting on canvas Genre scene Festival Maslenitsa

This is an original vintage signed oil painting on canvas by Russian Artist V.Vasilyev.
The painting titled Russian Maslenitsa vividly captures a spirited moment from the traditional Russian festival of Maslenitsa, which marks the end of winter and the coming of spring.
The artwork features three riders on horseback, energetically racing through a snowy landscape, with the central figure prominently raising his hat in a gesture of excitement or greeting. The horses are ornately decorated, suggesting the festivity of the occasion. In the background, a winter scene is depicted with bare trees and a traditional Russian wooden house, all covered in snow, which adds a chilly yet picturesque backdrop to the action. The sky above is rendered in soft blues and whites, suggesting a cold, clear day.
This painting is framed in a hand-decorated golden ornate frame that complements the historical and cultural richness of the scene depicted, enhancing the overall aesthetic
