"Shamil with a Bodyguard" is a notable painting by the Georgian primitivist artist Niko Pirosmanashvili, commonly known as Niko Pirosmani. Created in the early 20th century, this artwork reflects Pirosmani's unique style, characterized by its simplicity, directness, and the use of bright, vivid colors. The painting depicts Imam Shamil, the Avar political and religious leader who led the resistance against the Russian Empire in the Caucasus during the Caucasian War. Shamil is portrayed alongside a bodyguard, highlighting themes of loyalty, leadership, and the struggle for independence that were central to Shamil's historical legacy.

Niko Pirosmani, born in the village of Mirzaani, Georgia, in the late 19th century, was a self-taught artist who emerged from humble beginnings to become one of the most celebrated figures in Georgian art. His works often feature scenes from Georgian life, historical figures, and animals, rendered in a distinctive naïve art style. "Shamil with a Bodyguard" stands out as an example of Pirosmani's engagement with historical themes and his ability to convey complex narratives through his art.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic value but also for its cultural and historical implications. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Imam Shamil in the Caucasus region and the broader Russian Empire, as well as Pirosmani's interest in the figures who shaped the history of his country. Today, "Shamil with a Bodyguard" is celebrated as a key work in Pirosmani's oeuvre, offering insights into the artist's world view, his technical prowess, and his deep connection to the history and culture of Georgia.
