"Portrait of Ivan Yershov, the role of Siegfried" is a 1908 painting by Boris Kustodiev. This artwork captures the actor Ivan Yershov in a dramatic pose, embodying the legendary hero Siegfried from Wagner's opera "The Ring Cycle". The dynamic composition, with Yershov's outstretched arm reaching towards a towering rock formation, evokes a sense of power and heroism, reflecting Siegfried's strength and bravery. Kustodiev's vibrant palette, particularly the warm yellow hues, adds to the dramatic intensity and the overall theatrical effect of the portrait.
