About the piece

Painted in 1838 by the renowned Karl Bryullov, this portrait depicts Vladimir Alekseevich Musin-Pushkin with a contemplative expression. The work showcases the artist's mastery of the Romantic style, using deep shadows and a luminous treatment of the face to create a sense of psychological depth and noble poise, typical of mid-19th century European portraiture.
