"Portrait of the Painter Ivan Nikolayevich Kramskoi" is a self-portrait by the renowned Russian artist Ivan Nikolaevich Kramskoi, created in 1867. This work is significant as it captures the artist at a pivotal moment in his career, reflecting his self-awareness and the intellectual spirit of the time. Kramskoi, born in 1837, was a pivotal figure in Russian art of the 19th century, known for his critical approach to social realism and his role in the "revolt of fourteen," which led to the establishment of the Artel of Artists—an artists' cooperative independent of the Imperial Academy of Arts.

The self-portrait is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that Kramskoi mastered, allowing him to convey texture, depth, and emotion with great finesse. Measuring 58.5 by 45.5 centimeters, the painting is modest in size but rich in psychological depth. It depicts the artist with a penetrating gaze, suggesting a moment of self-reflection or introspection. The restrained color palette and the careful attention to light and shadow in the work are characteristic of Kramskoi's style, which often emphasized the inner world and character of his subjects.

Kramskoi's contribution to Russian art was not only through his paintings but also through his intellectual leadership. As a founder of the Peredvizhniki (Wanderers or Itinerants) movement, he advocated for art that was accessible to the public and that addressed pressing social issues. His self-portrait, therefore, is not only a personal exploration but also a statement of his artistic and ideological stance.

The "Portrait of the Painter Ivan Nikolayevich Kramskoi" is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and as a window into the soul of one of Russia's most influential artists. It remains an important work in the study of Russian art history and the development of portraiture as a vehicle for personal and social commentary. The painting is part of the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, where it continues to be studied and admired by visitors and scholars alike.
