"Portrait of a Boy, possibly Prince Anatoly Nikolaevich Demidov" is a painting by the renowned Russian artist Ivan Nikolaevich Kramskoy, created in 1878. This work is an oil on canvas and is part of Kramskoy's extensive oeuvre of portraits that include Russian intellectuals, cultural figures, and members of the aristocracy. The painting is notable for its subject matter, as it is believed to depict Prince Anatoly Nikolaevich Demidov (1813–1870), a member of the prominent Demidov industrialist family and a well-known patron of the arts.

The portrait is characterized by Kramskoy's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the psychological depth of his subjects. The boy's expression is pensive and introspective, which is a hallmark of Kramskoy's portrait style. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his skillful rendering of textures, from the boy's attire to his hair, contribute to the lifelike quality of the painting.

Ivan Kramskoy, a key figure in 19th-century Russian art, was a founder of the "Peredvizhniki" (Wanderers or Itinerants) movement, which sought to break away from the rigid academic standards of the time and engage with more realist and socially conscious themes. "Portrait of a Boy, possibly Prince Anatoly Nikolaevich Demidov" reflects the artist's commitment to portraying his subjects with honesty and depth, a principle that underpinned much of his work.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, offering insight into the Russian aristocracy of the period. While the exact identity of the boy remains a matter of speculation, the title of the work suggests a strong association with Prince Anatoly Demidov, which, if accurate, adds a layer of biographical interest to the portrait.

Today, "Portrait of a Boy, possibly Prince Anatoly Nikolaevich Demidov" is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of Kramskoy's masterful portraiture.
