About the piece
Painted in 1797 by Vladimir Borovikovsky, this iconic portrait of Maria Ivanovna Lopukhina is a celebrated example of Russian Sentimentalism. The subject is depicted with a gentle, introspective gaze, her relaxed pose and simple white attire harmonizing with the natural landscape of wheat and birch trees behind her. The work beautifully captures the late 18th-century ideal of the 'natural woman' through masterful light and soft, painterly textures.
