Summer of 1946, Grabar lived in the famous Abramtsevo near Moscow (see "Igor Grabar. Letters, Science, Moscow, 1983). Was he there in the winter or early spring - should be clarified.
"And not succumbing to age, Grabar still writing Russian nature, dear to him near Moscow landscapes. Abramtzevo, where he settled in 1930 in the suburban village of artists, was his inspiration, like many landscape painters of the 1940-1960 years. inviting one of his colleagues to his Abramtzevo, Grabar wrote in 1956: "You saw what would I have from the third floor of my giving Russian space opens - simply breathtaking. All the summer engaged in painting and a single line is not written on the History ". And in the choice of landscape motifs Grabar remained the picturesque old temperament. Again and again he turned to the winter grounds, to the inexhaustible theme of frost - from year to year wrote" A luxurious frost "and" Day of Frost "(both - 1941)," Rime " (1952), "Frost at Sunrise" (1955), "Winter Landscape" (1954) "
