"The Covered Sledge" (Russian: Закрытые нарты) is a notable painting by the Russian artist Nikolai Vasilevich Pirogov, created in 1872. This work is significant in Pirogov's oeuvre as it captures a quintessential scene of Russian winter life in the 19th century. The painting depicts a traditional Russian sleigh, known as a 'narta,' covered to protect its occupants from the harsh winter elements. Pirogov's attention to detail and his ability to convey the cold, crisp atmosphere of the Russian winter landscape have been praised by art critics.

Nikolai Vasilevich Pirogov, born in 1837 and deceased in 1897, was a Russian genre painter who was part of the Peredvizhniki (Wanderers) movement, a group of Russian realist artists who formed an artists' cooperative in protest of academic restrictions. His works often reflect social and cultural aspects of Russian life, and "The Covered Sledge" is no exception. It is a work that not only showcases Pirogov's skill as a painter but also serves as a historical document of the era's rural life.

The painting is characterized by its realistic portrayal of the Russian winter, with subdued color tones and meticulous depiction of the snow-covered landscape. The sleigh in the painting is a central element, representing a mode of transportation that was essential during the Russian winter months. The figures within the sleigh are partially obscured, adding a sense of mystery and inviting viewers to ponder the stories of the travelers.

"The Covered Sledge" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a cultural artifact. It is often included in discussions of Russian genre painting and the Peredvizhniki movement, and it continues to be exhibited in Russian art museums, contributing to the understanding of 19th-century Russian society and customs.
