Discover Vasily Perov (1834-1882), a pioneering Russian realist painter & founder of the Peredvizhniki movement. His poignant works depict everyday life & social issues, offering a vivid glimpse into 19th-century Russia.
The furrowed brow, tousled hair, and voluminous beard of the sitter bear no clue as to his identity. Based on the signature at upper right, this painting has been associated with the work of Perov, who was known for his unflinching depictions of peasants and of important Russian cultural figures such as the dramatist Aleksandr Ostrovsky and the novelist Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
