This interesting composition painted by a talented Palekh artist Natalie Kornilova shows a dangerous trip that made by a young man. Snowstorm is in progress, but he must come St.Petersburg. We can see several hungry wolves following the troika (three horse sleigh) speeding through the Russian countryside. An image of Our Lord is painted over the troyka in the skies, like a guardian Angel. In the right upper corner we can see recognizible lines of city of St.Petersburg- Bronze Horseman and St.Peter and Paul Fortress.
