Water Lilies (nympheae) By D.a. Litchenko, 1925

The painting “Water Lilies (Nymphéas)” by D.A. Litchenko, created in 1925, is a poetic and refined depiction of the harmony of nature. The composition unfolds on the calm surface of a pond, where, bathed in sunlight, pure white water lily buds bloom, surrounded by large emerald-green leaves. The artist masterfully captures the blue and turquoise reflections on the water, which gently mirror the sky. The impasto technique creates a tactile texture in the petals and foliage, enhancing the sense of presence. The painting is presented in a large gilded frame adorned with rich moldings, emphasizing the work’s classical aesthetic. In the lower left corner is the artist’s signature, “Litchenko D.A.,” and in the lower right corner is the number “25,” indicating the year of creation.
