Pushkin and Raevskaya in Gurzuf

Pushkin and Raevskaya in Gurzuf is a 1900 painting by Ivan Ayvazovsky. 



The artwork, housed in the Samara Art Museum, measures 0.22 meters in width and 0.16 meters in height. It depicts a coastal scene, possibly in Gurzuf, with figures that may represent Pushkin and Raevskaya walking along a sandy beach by the sea. The background features a hazy, mountainous landscape under a pale sky. The overall style suggests Impressionism or a related movement, with soft brushstrokes and a focus on light and atmosphere. The colors are muted, with blues, greens, and pale yellows dominating the palette. The sea is relatively calm, with gentle waves lapping the shore. Several small figures are visible in the distance, possibly representing boats or other elements of the coastal setting.
