Portrait of I.B. Kustodieva 1906

Boris Kustodiev’s 1906 portrait of his daughter, I.B. Kustodieva, is a tender depiction of childhood innocence. The young girl, dressed in a blue and white striped dress, holds a toy rooster, her smiling face capturing a moment of pure joy. Kustodiev, a renowned Russian painter, used a bold palette and expressive brushstrokes to capture the warmth and vibrancy of this domestic scene. The background, featuring floral wallpaper and two chairs, creates a sense of intimate space. This portrayal of Kustodiev’s daughter exemplifies his ability to depict everyday moments with a touch of tenderness and artistic flair.
