Grigory Dimitiyevich Ilovaysky, Russian Major General 

This portrait of Grigory Dimitiyevich Ilovaysky, a Russian Major General, was painted by George Dawe, a prominent British portrait artist who worked extensively in Russia during the early 19th century. Dawe's meticulous attention to detail is evident in Ilovaysky's uniform, adorned with elaborate embroidery and medals, highlighting his military rank and achievements. The artwork is a fine example of portraiture from the Romantic era, a period characterized by expressive brushstrokes and a focus on individual character. The painting is currently housed in the Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, a testament to the legacy of Russian military history and the artistic talent of George Dawe.
