About the piece
Painted in 1914, this oil study by Leonard Turzhansky depicts fellow artist Nikolai Mikhailovich Plyusnin. The work is characterized by its bold, impasto brushwork and a neutral, earthy palette that emphasizes the sitter's intense expression and distinctive facial hair, reflecting the psychological depth of early 20th-century Russian portraiture.
