Portrait of Martha Dunina is a 1800 oil by Vladimir Borovikovsky, a Rococo painting work, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
This painting is a portrait of a woman, likely Martha Dunina, from the late 18th century. She is depicted wearing a white dress with a red shawl draped over her shoulders, and a white headscarf tied around her head. Her dark hair is visible beneath the scarf, and she has a gentle expression on her face. The woman is seated in front of a window, with a plant visible on the windowsill behind her. The background of the painting is a muted brown color, which helps to focus attention on the subject. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought. The artist who created this painting, Vladimir Borovikovsky, was a Russian painter known for his portraits of Russian nobility.
Vladimir Lukich Borovikovsky (August 4 1757 – April 18 1825) was a Russian artist of Ukrainian Cossack origin. He served at the court of Catherine the Great and dominated portraiture in Russia at the turn of the 19th century.
