About the piece

Created in 1911, this watercolor study by Wassily Kandinsky demonstrates the artist's pivotal shift from representation toward pure abstraction. The piece captures a stylized troïka—a traditional Russian carriage—rendered with the energetic brushwork and bold primary colors that defined his Blue Rider period. This work balances narrative elements with an emotive use of form, making it a sophisticated addition to any modern art collection.
