Portrait of Fyodor Dostoevsky, 1872

This oil on canvas work of Russian realism by Vasily Perov depicts world renowned author Fyodor Dostoevsky in a reflective pose reminiscent of that of “Christ in the wilderness” by Ivan Kramskoi. The choice of cold colors and pastel light is also similar to the Kramskoi work.
