Original artwork description:

This tower in Kolomenskoye Park appeared in 1959 after the flooding of the Bratsk Reservoir. The Bratsk fort was founded in the 1630s on the banks of the Angara River - not far from the place where the city of Bratsk is now located. The Cossacks built a fortress, making it a stronghold for Russian settlers in the Baikal region. Now the tower is located in a park near the Zhuzhi River. I painted this sketch in the tower on the same day as another winter sketch. I painted at sunset, in the frost, and quite quickly since this condition changes very quickly in winter and the frost gets stronger.
