Alexander Pushkin

About this work

The painting depicts a man with curly hair, wearing a dark coat and a red-and-green plaid shawl. He is shown from the chest up, with his arms crossed and his hands clasped together. The background is a warm, golden brown color. The man's face is serious and introspective, with a hint of sadness in his eyes. His hair is unkempt, and his coat is worn and slightly rumpled. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the man is lost in thought. The painting is a portrait of Alexander Pushkin, created by Orest Kiprensky in 1827.
