Porträt des Grafen Alexej Mussin-Puschkin is a 1798 oil by Johann Baptist von Lampi the Elder, a Biedermeier work, held at Hermitage Museum.
The painting depicts a man in a red robe with gold embellishments, seated at a desk with a quill pen in his right hand. The desk is adorned with various objects, including a small box, a candle, and a book. The background of the painting is dark, with a subtle gradient of colors that adds depth to the scene. Upon closer inspection, the level of detail in the painting is impressive, with intricate folds in the man's robe and delicate lines on his face. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought.
