Portrait of a woman 1883

Ivan Kramskoy's "Portrait of a Woman" (1883) portrays a young woman in a fashionable winter outfit, seated in a carriage. The background depicts a hazy cityscape, suggesting the bustling atmosphere of a Russian city. The woman's expression is serious, her gaze directed towards the viewer. Kramskoy, a renowned artist of the realist movement, captured a subtle melancholy in the woman's posture and expression, making this portrait a striking example of 19th-century Russian art.
