Q134581387 is a 1892 oil by Vasily Surikov, a Realism work, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
The painting depicts a woman in a dark dress and white headscarf, standing in a room with a brown wall. She is holding a rosary in her hands and appears to be praying. The room is dimly lit, with only a small amount of light coming from an unseen source. The woman's face is not visible, but her posture and the way she is holding the rosary suggest that she is deeply focused on her prayer. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation and devotion. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's figure.
