A Girl with her hair unbraided 1873

"A Girl with her hair unbraided" is a painting by Ivan Kramskoy, a prominent figure in the Russian realist movement, dating back to 1873. This oil on canvas portrays a young woman, her long hair cascading down her back, emphasizing her innocence and vulnerability. The muted tones and subtle lighting contribute to the melancholic atmosphere, further enhancing the introspective nature of the subject. Currently housed at the Voronezh Regional Museum of Fine Arts, this work exemplifies Kramskoy’s mastery in capturing the essence of human emotion and societal realities of 19th-century Russia.
