Portrait of L.P. Albrecht 1905

"Portrait of L.P. Albrecht," painted in 1905 by Boris Kustodiev, is a striking example of portraiture. Kustodiev, a prominent Russian artist, captures the essence of his subject with loose, expressive brushstrokes. The subject, L.P. Albrecht, is depicted with a stoic expression, his gaze directed toward the viewer. The warm hues of the background enhance the portrait's intimacy and create a sense of depth. Kustodiev's signature, in the bottom right corner, adds a personal touch to the work. The portrait showcases Kustodiev's ability to convey both the physical likeness and the inner character of his subject.
