"Emperor Nicholas II" is a notable sketch by the prominent Russian realist painter Ilya Yefimovich Repin. Created in 1896, the sketch portrays Nicholas II, the last Emperor of Russia, who reigned from 1894 until his abdication in 1917. Repin, renowned for his portraiture and his ability to capture the character and mood of his subjects, provides a unique artistic insight into the persona of the Tsar during a period of significant political and social change in Russia.

The sketch is executed with the deftness and economy of line characteristic of Repin's preparatory and study works, capturing the essence of Nicholas II's visage and bearing. As a study, it may have been part of Repin's preparatory work for a more finished portrait or a standalone piece meant to explore the features and personality of the Emperor.

Repin's portrayal of Nicholas II is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context. The sketch was made during the early years of Nicholas's reign, a time when the autocracy was facing increasing criticism and the pressures of modernization. Repin's work, therefore, provides a snapshot of the Emperor at a time when the future of the Russian Empire was uncertain.

The sketch is held in high regard for its historical value and as an example of Repin's mastery of the medium. It is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the complexities of his subjects, reflecting both the individual character and the broader societal conditions of the time. As with many of Repin's works, "Emperor Nicholas II" is appreciated for its contribution to the understanding of Russian art and history at the turn of the 20th century.
