Oil on canvas, signed lower left "A. M. Podchernikoff" and with artist's copyright symbol, housed in an attractive gilt frame. SS 19.25 x 23.25 in.; DOA 24.5 x 28.5 in.

Born in Vladimir, Russia, Podchernikoff eventually found himself in California, where he became well-known for his romanticized visions of the California landscape, done in the manner of Corot. This painting showcases Podchernikoff's talent at capturing the soft suffusion of light by a woodland pond surrounded by women and their cattle watering.
