Ivan Dunin 1801

This portrait of Ivan Dunin, painted in 1801 by Vladimir Borovikovsky, is a fine example of the artist's mastery of portraiture. Dunin, a prominent figure in Russian society, is depicted in a formal pose, clad in a military uniform that accentuates his status. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the meticulous rendering of Dunin's features, the texture of his uniform, and the intricate decorations adorning his chest.
