Porträt des Ambrose (Podobedov) of St. Petersburg (1742-1818) is a 1850 oil by Vladimir Borovikovsky, a Rococo painting work, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
This painting depicts a man with long hair and a beard, wearing a tall, ornate gold hat and a green and white robe with intricate designs. He holds a white cloth with a gold handle in his right hand and touches a gold star with his left. The background is dark, with a column and purple drapes visible behind him. The man's attire and the symbols he holds suggest a high-ranking religious figure. The level of detail in the painting, particularly in the man's clothing and the objects he holds, indicates a high level of skill and attention to detail by the artist. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Vladimir Borovikovsky.
