CONSTANTIN WESTCHILOFF RUSSIAN WATERCOLOR PAINTING 1907 - This original watercolor painting by the renowned artist Constantin Westchiloff (1877–1945) depicts a traditional rural landscape featuring a thatched-roof cottage, or khata, under a soft, cloud-filled sky.

A detailed Cyrillic inscription and the date ”1907” are visible in the lower right corner, indicating this may have been a presentation piece or study.
