The Student is a 1891 oil by Nikolai Yaroshenko, a Realism work, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
The painting depicts a man dressed in dark attire, including a hat and a scarf wrapped around his neck. He is set against a muted background. The man's face is the focal point of the painting, with his eyes cast downward. His facial expression is contemplative, suggesting a sense of introspection. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. Look up the artist Nikolai Yaroshenko next.
