unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Kaksintaistelu, harjoitelma is an unspecified by Ilya Repin, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a tense scene in a wooded clearing. A woman in a white dress lies on the ground, her face turned away. Two men in uniforms stand nearby—one with his hand on her shoulder, another watching. A third man in a long coat stands apart, arms crossed. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, with earthy greens and browns blending into the background. The woman’s torn dress and the rough handling of her body suggest something violent happened. The uniforms hint at authority, but the setting feels more like a forest than a formal space. Check out Repin, Ilja to see how he used similar dramatic moments in other works.
Ilya Yefimovich Repin (5 August 1844 – 29 September 1930) was a Ukrainian-born Russian painter.
