Portrait of Elizabeta Zvantseva is a 1895 oil by Ilya Repin, a Realism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This portrait depicts a woman sitting in a chair, wearing a black dress with a high collar and a gold necklace. Her short, dark hair frames her face, and her hands are clasped together in her lap. The woman's expression is serious, and her gaze is directed slightly to the right of the viewer. The background of the painting is a warm, muted color, which complements the woman's dark attire. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting, drawing the viewer's attention to the woman's face and hands. Next, look up Ilya Repin.
Ilya Yefimovich Repin (5 August 1844 – 29 September 1930) was a Ukrainian-born Russian painter.
