The "Portrait of Pavel Tretyakov (1832-98), the Founder of the State Tretyakov Museum, 1883" is a significant work by the renowned Russian artist Ilya Efimovich Repin. This portrait is not only a masterful example of Repin's skill and sensitivity as a portraitist but also serves as a historical document, immortalizing Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov, the philanthropist and art collector who founded the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. Painted in 1883, this artwork captures Tretyakov at the age of 51, at a time when he was deeply involved in the development and expansion of his art collection, which he would ultimately bequeath to the Russian nation.

The portrait is notable for its realism, a hallmark of Repin's work, and its psychological depth. Repin was celebrated for his ability to capture the essence of his sitters, and in this portrait, he portrays Tretyakov not just as a wealthy patron of the arts, but as a thoughtful and committed individual dedicated to the cultural enrichment of his country. The painting shows Tretyakov in his study, surrounded by artworks, suggesting his passion for art and his role in its promotion. The attention to detail in the depiction of the textures of the fabrics, the furniture, and the artworks in the background, as well as the nuanced rendering of Tretyakov's facial expression, all contribute to the portrait's effectiveness as a character study and its visual appeal.

This portrait holds a place of honor in the State Tretyakov Gallery, the institution that owes its existence to the man it depicts. It is not only a tribute to Tretyakov's legacy as a patron of the arts but also a testament to the skill and insight of Ilya Repin, one of the most important figures in Russian art of the 19th century. The "Portrait of Pavel Tretyakov" is frequently cited in discussions of Repin's portraiture and is considered one of the key works in understanding the cultural and historical context of the period in which it was created.
