Portrait of Count Sergei Petrovich Buturlin 1824

Orest Kiprensky's "Portrait of Count Sergei Petrovich Buturlin" (1824) is a graphite drawing depicting the Russian count in a three-quarter profile, seated and looking off to the side. His clothing and the chair he sits on are meticulously rendered, demonstrating Kiprensky's keen eye for detail and mastery of the medium. This drawing, now in the Tretyakov Gallery, is a testament to Kiprensky's skill as a portraitist and his ability to capture the sitter's personality and social standing.
