Zhukovsky spent two years in Vyatka (now Kirov) between 1919 and 1921. It was there that he held his first solo exhibition while working as an artist for the city theatre and he painted numerous views of the landscape. As in the present lot, many of these landscapes depict the banks of the river Vyatka, itself a tributary of the larger Kama and hence the inscription on the reverse, as well as the surroundings of the Alexander Nevsky Monastery which would be completely destroyed by the Soviets shortly afterwards in 1924. Other views of Vyatka by Zhukovsky can be seen in the collections of the Kursk State Picture Gallery and the National Art Museum of the Republic of Belarus.
