This charcoal drawing, created in 1861 by Ivan Kramskoy, is a portrait of fellow artist Johann Gottlieb Wenig. The artwork's realism and attention to detail are typical of Kramskoy's work, which often focused on portraying the lives and experiences of ordinary people. It captures Wenig's contemplative expression and his neatly-groomed appearance, giving viewers a glimpse into the personality of this lesser-known artist. Kramskoy, a member of the influential "Peredvizhniki" (Wanderers) movement, is known for his powerful portraits that emphasized social realism and the lives of the common people. The work, rendered in shades of gray, is a testament to the artistic skill of Ivan Kramskoy, who played a pivotal role in the development of Russian art in the 19th century.
