A landmark 18th-century portrait by Russian serf artist Ivan Argunov. It stands as one of the earliest and most celebrated representations of a woman in authentic Russian folk attire in formal portraiture. The sitter is rendered wearing a traditional gold-embroidered kokoshnik headdress, a red sarafan adorned with gold braid, a fine white blouse, and coral beads. The composition is noted for its gentle dignity, clear volumetric form, and subtle harmony of warm tones.
