7215379 LEON TOLSTOI, 1887 (oil on canvas) by Repin, Ilya Efimovich (1844-1930); Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia; (add.info.: 1887//Oil on canvas
This portrait was made in three posing sessions, during Repins first stay at Iasnaya Polyana, in August 1887. The painter chose to depict Tolstoy sitting, in a natural attitude, with a concentrated, almost austere air, suspending his reading. The discreet and sober colors as well as the calm of the attitude give the impression of inner harmony. The writer appears here as a man who has overcome all his doubts and is ready to share his vision of life with his followers. Tolstoy was satisfied with the picture. Of all his numerous representations, this one appears as his official portrait.); Photo © Sylvain Collet
