Portrait of Z. I. Grzhebin 1919

"Portrait of Z. I. Grzhebin" is a 1919 painting by the Russian artist Jury Annenkov. The portrait, rendered in a realist style, shows the subject, Z. I. Grzhebin, a prominent figure in the Soviet era, in a contemplative mood. Grzhebin's thoughtful expression, captured through subtle details like his furrowed brow and downcast eyes, is further accentuated by the geometric background, which adds a sense of formality and depth to the composition. Annenkov's signature style, marked by meticulous attention to detail and a focus on the psychological nuances of his subjects, is clearly evident in this work, making it a captivating example of his mastery of portraiture.
