"Officer for Le Duel" is a notable painting by the prominent Russian realist artist Ilya Efimovich Repin, created in 1882. The painting is also known by its French title, "Officier pour le duel." This work is part of Repin's broader oeuvre, which is characterized by its powerful depiction of social and historical themes, as well as its psychological depth and narrative complexity.

The painting captures a moment of intense anticipation and the psychological tension preceding a duel. It portrays an officer, presumably a second, who is preparing or waiting for the commencement of a duel. The second's role was traditionally to ensure that the duel was conducted under agreed-upon conditions and to oversee the fairness of the encounter. Repin's masterful use of light and shadow, along with his acute attention to detail, conveys the gravity of the situation and the emotional state of the protagonist.

"Officer for Le Duel" is reflective of the artist's interest in the moral and social issues of his time, particularly the practice of dueling, which was a controversial subject in 19th-century Russian society. Repin often explored the lives and customs of various social classes, and this painting is an example of his exploration of the military aristocracy and their codes of honor.

The painting is held in a private collection, and its exhibition history and provenance are not as well-documented as some of Repin's other works. However, it remains an important piece within Repin's body of work for its exploration of personal honor, social conventions, and the human psyche. As with many of Repin's paintings, "Officer for Le Duel" is admired for its technical skill, its rich narrative, and its capacity to evoke emotion and provoke thought regarding the human condition.
