"Pushkin and the Muse" (1930) by Konstantin Korovin (1861-1939) is a romantic portrayal of the famed Russian poet Alexander Pushkin and his inspiration, the muse of poetry. The artwork features Pushkin, dressed in a black coat and top hat, standing next to a woman playing a lyre, her expression reflecting the beauty of the muse's inspiration. The lush, painterly style of the artwork evokes the romanticism of Pushkin's poetry and celebrates the timeless bond between artist and inspiration.
