In the place indicated by the artist, the merchants of Chernyatinsky (Chernyagins) built a warm workshop for him and provided him with everything necessary for the time of work on the picture. Subsequently, the Chernyatinsky received gratitude from the society to encourage artists for assistance "The successes of future talents".

The picture attracts a combination of interest in domestic details and landscape, the integrity of the perception of nature.
