Portrait of the Artist Ilya Repin 

Ivan Kramskoy, a prominent figure in the realist movement in Russian art, painted this portrait of fellow artist Ilya Repin in a somber, realistic style. Kramskoy captures Repin's intense gaze and thoughtful expression with masterful brushstrokes, highlighting the subject's inner world and intellectual depth. The painting is a testament to Kramskoy's skill in portraying individual character and personality through subtle details and a nuanced palette. This work is a prime example of the Peredvizhniki, a group of Russian artists promoting realism and social consciousness in their works.
