"Portrait of Lev Tolstoy" is a notable painting by the Russian realist artist Ilya Efimovich Repin, created in 1901. This work is one of several portraits Repin painted of the celebrated Russian writer and thinker Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, with whom he maintained a friendship. The portrait is esteemed for its insightful depiction of Tolstoy's character and its contribution to the visual legacy of one of Russia's literary giants.

In this portrait, Repin captures Tolstoy at the age of 73, presenting a deeply personal and psychologically penetrating image of the author. Tolstoy is depicted in a casual pose, seated and resting his hands on a walking stick, which suggests his intellectual stature as well as his physical decline in old age. The setting is informal, possibly a room in Tolstoy's residence, and the attire is simple, reflecting Tolstoy's ascetic lifestyle and his renunciation of his aristocratic background.

Repin's masterful use of light and shadow, along with his attention to detail, brings out the textures of Tolstoy's clothing and the rugged features of his face, emphasizing the writer's intense gaze and the aura of wisdom that surrounds him. The portrait is not only a testament to Repin's skill as a portraitist but also a reflection of the complex relationship between artist and subject, as Repin grappled with capturing the essence of a man whose ideas about art and society were both influential and controversial.

The "Portrait of Lev Tolstoy" by Ilya Repin is held in high regard within the canon of Russian art and is considered an important cultural artifact that provides insight into the life and personality of Tolstoy. It remains a significant piece in the study of Repin's portraiture and is frequently exhibited in art museums, contributing to the ongoing appreciation and understanding of both the artist's and the subject's legacies.
