ATTRIBUTED TO KONSTANTIN KOROVIN RUSSIAN PASTEL PAINTING - An atmospheric Russian Impressionist pastel on paper Attributed to Konstantin Korovin (1861–1939). The composition depicts a nostalgic winter scene featuring a blue steam locomotive cutting through a snowy landscape, a recurring theme representing travel and transition in the artist's émigré period. The work is executed on ”Arches France” watermarked paper, consistent with his time in Paris, and renders the smoke and frost with soft, atmospheric strokes characteristic of his late Impressionist style. Signed ”C. Korovine” in charcoal lower right. The reverse bears a gallery label from the Ida Kimche Art Gallery, located in the Tel Aviv Hilton, a known mid-century venue for European and Israeli fine art. russian impressionism, paris school, steam train, winter landscape, emigre art, pastel on paper, arches watermark, tel aviv provenance, vintage fine art, atmospheric, locomotive Dimensions Frame 24 1/2 x 30 1/2 in.
