Description
A reproduction of Vasily Tropinin’s 1827 portrait of Alexander Pushkin. This framed oil portrait depicts the renowned Russian poet Alexander Pushkin as a young man with dark, curly hair and sideburns, dressed in a high-collared white shirt and a dark, loose-fitting cloak, leaning on a surface. The subject’s attire and the Romantic aesthetic are characteristic of 19th-century European style. The artwork is executed in oil on canvas and housed within a substantial, ornate giltwood frame. A white label affixed to the bottom right of the frame reads « Pre-auction » and « LOT 262 ».

The ornate giltwood frame shows minor wear consistent with age, including light surface abrasions and small losses to the gilt finish, particularly along the edges and corners.
