"Notre guide mongol Kumbo" is a 1931 portrait by Russian artist Alexandre Jacovleff (1887-1938) of a Mongolian man wearing traditional clothing. The artwork depicts Kumbo, a guide who accompanied Jacovleff on his travels in Mongolia. The portrait shows Kumbo standing in a relaxed posture, with his right hand resting on his hip. His facial features are rendered with detail, and the artist captures the individual personality of his subject.
