Hello, help me understand what is it?

I thought the first one artist painted a landscape, and then the other person, feeling rather empty landscape, clumsily finished there gnomes, cows the size of a dog, and houses.

Copy of Shishkin "Type in the vicinity of Dusseldorf". 1865
Oil on canvas. 106 x 151 cm
The State Russian Museum
His stay abroad Shishkin summed up the picture "view in the vicinity of Dusseldorf" (1865). Judging from the rocky terrain, indicating low foothills, the artist worked around town Eckhardt. Dusseldorf is located on the Rhine, has flat plains surrounding area. However, the picture was a composite character. Some earlier studies, included in the paintings of the Swiss period, are recognized in the German cycle. So, hiding behind a dilapidated hut slope Vida in the vicinity of Dusseldorf "in the next year was repeated by the artist in the painting" View of Switzerland "(1866). There is no doubt that the painting "View near Dusseldorf" was the final. Moreover, it draw a line under certain creative period, after which begins another artist, gradually becoming Shishkin, known in Russian art wonderful works.
