Leškin Viktor (1914-1998). Coast and clouds. (1989)

Victor Leškin’s “Coast and clouds” (1989) is a breathtaking oil on cardboard painting. The painting, measuring 50 x 80.5 cm, showcases Leškin’s talent for capturing fresh and picturesque landscapes, a style that made him notable in the 1950s and 1960s. Signed “V. Leškin” on the lower right and labeled on the reverse with details of its creation in Tallinn, this piece is a beautiful representation of Lahemaa’s clouds and seashore. It offers a glimpse into the vibrant art scene of the time, reflecting Leškin’s education from the Estonian State Art Institute, where he graduated in 1949.
