Vera Shevtsova 

This is a portrait of Vera Shevtsova, painted by the renowned Russian artist Ilya Repin. The painting is characterized by loose brushstrokes, particularly in the depiction of the sitter's white dress and the chair she is reclining in. This suggests the sketch-like quality of the work, capturing a fleeting moment in time. Vera Shevtsova is portrayed in a relaxed pose, gazing off to the side, creating a sense of quiet contemplation. This portrait is a prime example of Repin's mastery of capturing the essence of his subjects in a natural, unposed way.
