About this work

Overview

Boris Mikhailovich Kustodiev painted *27 February 1917* in oil during the year of its title. The canvas, now part of the Tretyakov Gallery’s holdings, records a winter street scene on the day of the February 1917 uprising, rendered in a clear, representational manner typical of Russian realism.

Subject & Meaning

The composition shows a mass of figures bundled against the snow, their dark garments contrasting with the pale sky. The crowd appears engaged in a collective action, suggesting protest or public assembly, while a prominent yellow domed building looms in the distance, anchoring the urban setting.

Technique & Style

Kustodiev employs a realistic approach, emphasizing texture and atmospheric effects through layered brushwork. A muted palette of grays and blues conveys the cold, while strategic touches of bright yellow and red draw attention to architectural elements and the movement of the figures, creating a sense of kinetic energy.

History & Provenance

Executed in the tumultuous year of 1917, the work reflects the artist’s immediate response to contemporary events. After its creation, the painting entered the collection of Moscow’s Tretyakov Gallery, where it remains on display as part of the institution’s representation of early‑twentieth‑century Russian art.
