"Portrait of Chota Rustaveli after a miniature by Grigori Grigorevich Gagarin" is a 19th-century artwork that pays homage to the revered medieval Georgian poet Shota Rustaveli, author of the national epic poem "The Knight in the Panther's Skin." The portrait is based on a miniature painting by Prince Grigori Grigorevich Gagarin, a Russian painter, diplomat, and archaeologist known for his significant contributions to the Orientalist art movement and his interest in the cultures of the Caucasus region.

Grigori Gagarin's original miniature is itself an interpretation of the historical figure of Rustaveli, who lived in the 12th century and served at the court of Queen Tamar of Georgia. Gagarin's work reflects the 19th-century fascination with the exotic and the historical, as well as a romanticized view of the past. The portrait captures Rustaveli in a stylized manner, typical of Gagarin's Orientalist approach, which often blended accurate ethnographic details with imaginative elements.

The "Portrait of Chota Rustaveli" is significant not only as an artistic representation of a key figure in Georgian literature but also as an example of cross-cultural artistic influence during the 19th century. It showcases how Russian artists of the time engaged with the history and culture of neighboring regions, contributing to a broader understanding and appreciation of Georgia's rich literary heritage.

This artwork is an important piece for both art historians studying Russian Orientalism and scholars of Georgian national identity, as it visually represents the enduring legacy of Rustaveli and the cultural interplay between Russia and Georgia during the period. The portrait remains a testament to the power of art in bridging different cultures and epochs, as well as the lasting impact of Rustaveli's literary masterwork on subsequent generations of artists and poets.
