Portrait of Alexandr Mihailovich Golytsyn (1723-1807), vice-chancellor is a 1772 oil by Dmitry Levitzky, a Rococo painting work, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
The painting depicts a man in a red velvet coat with a blue sash, adorned with a gold emblem on his chest. He is seated at a desk, with his right arm extended and his hand gesturing towards something outside the frame. The background features a bust of a woman on a pedestal to the left of the man. The man's attire and the desk suggest a formal setting, possibly an office or study. The bust of the woman adds a touch of elegance to the scene. This painting is a great example of the work of artist Dmitry Levitzky.
