"Portrait of Sculptor Mark Matveevich Antokolski" is a notable work by the renowned Russian realist painter Ilya Efimovich Repin. Created in 1878, this oil on canvas painting depicts Mark Matveevich Antokolski, a prominent Russian sculptor of the time, known for his expressive and often dramatic works that frequently drew upon Jewish and Russian historical themes. Repin, a master of psychological portraiture, captures Antokolski in a moment of contemplative intensity, reflecting the intellectual and artistic spirit of his subject.

The portrait is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for the relationship it represents between two of the most influential figures in Russian art during the second half of the 19th century. Both Repin and Antokolski were associated with the Peredvizhniki (Wanderers or Itinerants), a group of artists who sought to engage with the social and moral issues of their day through a realist approach to art. Repin's portrayal of Antokolski is a testament to the mutual respect and camaraderie shared among members of this movement.

The composition of the portrait is marked by Repin's characteristic attention to detail and his ability to convey the inner life of his subjects. Antokolski is shown in his workshop, surrounded by the tools of his trade, which not only situates him firmly within his professional milieu but also adds to the narrative of the artist at work. The painting is a study in contrasts, with the soft, diffused light highlighting Antokolski's thoughtful expression against the darker, more muted tones of the background, emphasizing the solitary nature of the creative process.

"Portrait of Sculptor Mark Matveevich Antokolski" is housed in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia, where it continues to be admired for its insightful representation of an artist and the enduring friendship between painter and sculptor. As a work of art, it remains an important contribution to the rich tapestry of Russian cultural heritage and a prime example of Repin's mastery in portraiture.
