Levi Alexander Benois de Stetto 1916

Zinaida Serebriakova’s 1916 charcoal drawing, "Levi Alexander Benois de Stetto," depicts a young man with a serious expression, partially obscured by the folds of his striped clothing. The artist's skill in capturing the subject's features and the texture of fabric is evident in the detailed, expressive lines of the drawing. This work exemplifies Serebriakova's talent for portraiture and her ability to capture the nuances of human emotion through subtle shading and linework.
