Russian Art
Repin, I. E.
"Countess Natalia Petrovna Golovina, Portrait". 1896
Notes: Portrait of Countess Natalia Petrovna Golovina, Goloshchapova by her second marriage
This portrait was a gift of the artist to the State Russian Museum. It reflects Repin's abilities at the less adventurous business of capturing the glamour of a noble sitter. Excelling at his task, the painter presents a proud, confident woman to posterity.
