"Vera Tretyakov in Kuntsevo" is a watercolor painting by Ivan Kramskoy, painted in 1875. It depicts Vera Tretyakov, the wife of the prominent art collector Pavel Tretyakov, in a woodland setting. The use of muted greens and yellows evokes the atmosphere of a lush forest, with the figure of Vera standing out in the dappled light. This work showcases Kramskoy's mastery of watercolor, his ability to capture the fleeting light and shadow of nature, and his interest in depicting everyday life. It is a sensitive portrayal of a woman in a natural setting, and exemplifies Kramskoy's stylistic approach to figure painting.
