Oil painting on hardboard. Signed in the lower left corner. On the back there is a cartouche belonging to the painter's studio showing the title of the painting. Giuseppe Chiacigh studied Fine Arts and then architecture in Russia where he was born. His parents were Italian. After the Russian Revolution, he returned to Italy and completed his studies. He started working as an architect by projecting villas, churches and specializing in wall decoration (frescoes, artistic glasses, mosaics) and won many awards. From 1943 onward, his production was almost exclusively painting: he used to depict historical subjects, especially Oriental ones. Chiacigh is known for not joining any artistic movement or school. His painting production is mostly expressionistic. This painting depicts the courtyard of a Russian farmhouse and some farmers doing their activities while a pair of Cossacks on horseback are talking in the middle of the scene. Presented in frame.
