"Alyosha" is a 1927 pencil drawing by Russian artist Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, known for his distinctive style that blends realism with symbolism. This portrait captures the melancholic gaze of a young woman, possibly a portrait of the artist's daughter. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and emotion, highlighting the subject's contemplative expression. Petrov-Vodkin's work often explored themes of identity and the human condition, making "Alyosha" a compelling example of his artistic vision.
