Portrait of Princess Maria Klavdievna Tenisheva while working is a 1899 oil by Ilya Repin, a Realism work, held at National Gallery of Armenia.
The painting shows a woman standing in front of an easel, wearing a dark dress and a hat adorned with flowers. She is holding a paintbrush in her right hand, poised to work on the canvas. The background is dark, with a faint outline of a chair and a table visible behind the woman. The woman's face is turned slightly to the side, and her expression is one of concentration. Her hair is pulled back, and a few loose strands frame her face. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought as she works on her art. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Ilya Repin, known for his detailed and expressive portraits.
Ilya Yefimovich Repin (5 August 1844 – 29 September 1930) was a Ukrainian-born Russian painter.
