"Boyar with the Cup" is a painting by Russian artist Konstantin Egorovich Makovsky. The artwork depicts a wealthy Russian nobleman, a boyar, holding a golden cup. His white beard and luxurious fur-trimmed clothing speak to his wealth and status, while the background suggests an indoor setting, possibly within his home. Makovsky was known for his portrayal of historical subjects, including the lives of Russian aristocracy, which he often presented in a romanticized light. This artwork is a testament to his artistic skill and enduring legacy.
