The present work deals with versatile works by painter Korneli Sanadze, in particular his landscapes, aspects of his painting skills and values that pervade all of his paintings. The landscapes vary in terms of date, character, format and painting techniques involved. Their classification on the basis of format is, however, considered to be more preferable. The present work focuses on two paintings on one and the same theme.

Most part of Tbilisi depression, located between Mukhatgverdi gorge (Zemo Avchala) and the eastern edge (Ponichala) of Teleti range is created in Quaternary period due to erosion-accumulation processes of the Mtkvari River. Witness of it is the fact of location of stepped terraces of the Mtkvari River of different ages within the boundaries of the noted depression. In Tbilisi depression the most ancient terrace of Lower Quaternary era is remained as a flat top of Mount Makhata (628 m), which is located at 160-180 m above sea level from the Mtkvari river-bed and is covered with alluvium of the same river.
