Summer Landscape Field with Sheaves of Grain, Jan Stanislawski 1860–1907. Pastel on grey paper glued to cardboard, 24.6 x 35.1 cm. Signed lower left in pencil: JAN STANISLAWSKI. Probably painted during one of the artist's trips to Ukraine, ca. 1903–1905. The composition shows an expansive view with haystacks in the middle ground, opening onto a distant horizon with the silhouette of trees and a windmill. Billowy clouds float in the sky, illuminated from above and dark from below. The artist drew the pastel pencil with a sharp tip, applied strokes sideways, and rubbed areas with his hand or a broomstick; the direction of the drawing lines establishes perspective. The stubble and distant fields are defined by parallel horizontal pastel lines that, together with color, build depth. Colorful layers of pastel have been partially rubbed out clouds, haystacks, parts of the foreground and horizon. Final retouching consists of sharp, quick strokes of orange, ochre, and white especially in the foreground. At the bottom edge the painter intentionally left an exposed unpainted fragment of thick, textured, mass-dyed grey paper, using its tone to highlight the foreground. Stanislawski rarely used pastel technique., A pastel landscape showing a wide, flat field with a few rounded haystacks in the foreground and a group of similar stacks toward the right, rendered in brown, ochre, yellow, and muted green tones, with touches of darker brown and gray for shadow; a distant low horizon with a small cluster of trees and a windmill silhouette in darker brown and gray; a sky filled with soft, wispy clouds drawn in pale pink, white, and light gray against a blue and turquoise backdrop, with hints of peach and lavender near the horizon.
