The composition is not complex, however, it represents a scene treated by many men of word and fine arts - a howling wolf. Here relief carving is applied and the background - of a tree and a night sky with a bright moon standing high behind the tree branches - is made with the help of toning.
This is another interpretation of the bear-in-a-village scene with a slightly different representation of the background (the old tree trunk) and the bear's posture and gait. The master applied relief carving and toning.
This is a composition depicting a scene of traditional Russian hunting - the 2 borzoi dogs, a breed that is traditionally Russian and which name at once arouses our associations with Russia, are chasing a fox.
The borzois and the fox are caught in motion, between one movement and the next; and the artist made every effort to convey the sense of speed, tension, exhilaration and excitement of the chase, the grace of the borzois and the agility of a little fox.
Это композиция изображает сцену традиционной русской охоты - две борзые преследуют лису. Русская борзая - исконно русская порода, название которой сразу вызывает у нас ассоциации с Россией.
Борзая и лиса запечатлены в порыве движения; мастер старался передать ощущение скорости, напряжения и азарта погони, грацию борзых и проворство маленькой лисы.
