Description of Orest Kiprensky’s painting "Portrait of Chelischev".
This is one of Orest Adamovich Kiprensky’s finest paintings. Thanks to this priceless work, the author of the work founded the Romantic movement. The masterpiece was created in 1809. A year earlier, the artist had only just begun to write the work. Still young, but quite famous in his circles, the painter undertook to write a portrait of a boy of 12. At the beginning of the following year, the picture was presented to the public, and it was appreciated.
It was Orest Adamovich in his work was able to fully depict the children’s image. Many artists also created portraits of children, but they were all depicted older. Kiprensky was able to convey not only the exact age of the boy, but also the depth of his childish soul. Success awaited not only the author, but also his sitter. The boy will enter the Corps of Pages, will take part in the war, but all this later.
The canvas depicts a naive boy who, like all his peers, wants to become a grown man as soon as possible.
The boy depicted in the portrait radiates tranquility. Kindness and peace. He has won the hearts of many viewers with his naivety. His large, dark eyes shine with love for the world around him. His plump, red lips are about to open in a smile. The boy has thick, dark, ruffled hair and a round, pretty face. If you look at the portrait for a long time, you can immediately picture the picture: the boy is very tired to pose and at the slightest opportunity will break away and run to play with the same boys, just like him.
If you look at the picture closely, you can see dreams in the boy’s eyes, but they are no longer childlike as they were before. They are dreams of the future. The boy is not quite naive, as it may seem at first, he is intelligent and educated, with a strong, strong-willed character. His image is mysterious and unpredictable overnight.

На мой взгляд, великолепие этой картины невозможно передать словами. Кипренский Орест Адамович, великий художник, портретист, с его талантом и умением передавать все чувства красками просто нереально сравниться. Этот портрет, насколько мне известно, знаменитого двенадцатилетнего мальчика, который сыграл важную роль в Отечественной войне 1812 года, хотя ему тогда было пятнадцать... Прекрасная работа художника достойна высшей похвалы. На этом пожалуй все.

The picture has something of this: people, portrait, man, wear, facial expression, outerwear, jacket, son, profile, retro, music, child, face, woman.
Perhaps it’s a close up of a painting of a young boy in a blue suit with a red shirt and white collared shirt and a black blazer.
