Wife Charlotta in Russian dress is a 1800 unspecified by Augustin Ritt, a Neoclassicism work, held at Hermitage Museum.
This painting is a portrait of a woman, identified as the artist's wife, Charlotta. She is depicted wearing a traditional Russian dress and a headpiece that resembles a hat. The background of the painting is not clearly visible, but it appears to be a solid color. The woman's face is the main focus of the painting, and her features are rendered in a realistic style. Her expression is neutral, and her eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The artist has used a range of colors to capture the textures and folds of her clothing, which adds depth and dimension to the painting. The State Hermitage Museum is home to this portrait, which showcases the artist's skill in capturing the likeness and character of his subject.
Augustin Ritt (1765–1799) was an artist, born in Saint Petersburg.
