An illustration of a shawl with motifs of the Vychegda painting.

The Vychegda painting consists almost entirely of round motifs (rosettes) - colored circles inscribed into each other, complemented by contrasting dots.

This painting is included in the area of northern and Ural folk paintings that existed in the XIX–XX centuries in the Russian North, a unique phenomenon in the culture of Komi-Zyryans living in the upper reaches of the Vychegda River.
