"Portrait of Pyotr Valuev" is a notable 19th-century oil painting by the Russian artist Ivan Nikolaevich Kramskoy, created in 1866. As one of the prominent works of Kramskoy, a leading figure in Russian realist art, the portrait is a fine example of his mastery in capturing the psychological depth and character of his subjects. Pyotr Valuev, the sitter for the painting, was a significant Russian statesman known for his role as the Minister of Interior under Emperor Alexander II and for the Valuev Circular of 1863, which restricted the publication of religious texts in Ukrainian.

The portrait is executed with Kramskoy's characteristic attention to detail and subtle use of color, reflecting the social status and personality of Valuev. The sitter is depicted with a stern expression, possibly alluding to his conservative views and the controversial nature of his political actions. Kramskoy's work is often noted for its ability to convey the inner life of the individuals he painted, and "Portrait of Pyotr Valuev" is no exception, offering a window into the complex nature of a man who played a pivotal role in the history of Imperial Russia.

Held in high regard for its historical significance and artistic value, the painting is an important piece within the Russian art canon and continues to be studied for its contribution to the genre of portraiture. It is a testament to Kramskoy's skill in portraiture and his commitment to the realist movement, which sought to depict subjects with truthfulness and without embellishment. The "Portrait of Pyotr Valuev" remains an essential work for understanding the cultural and political milieu of 19th-century Russia, as well as the evolution of Russian portraiture.
