Nun 1887

This portrait of a nun, painted by Russian realist Ilya Repin in 1887, captures a moment of quiet contemplation. The subject's face, partially obscured by a dark veil, suggests a sense of inner turmoil or profound reflection. The muted color palette and soft lighting enhance the mood of introspection, while the subtle brushstrokes contribute to the painting's realism. Repin is known for his portrayal of ordinary people, and this artwork embodies his talent for capturing human emotion and psychological depth.
