"Andriy Kot" is a charcoal drawing created by Ilya Repin in 1880. The piece depicts a man in a traditional Ukrainian fur cap and coat, seated with his head bowed in contemplation. Repin, known for his realist style, captures the subject's weariness through expressive lines and subtle shading. The artwork is a testament to Repin's skill in conveying emotion through the human form, highlighting the artist's interest in portraying everyday life and people.
