"Portrait of Colonel Evgraf V. Davydov (1775–1823)" is a notable work by the distinguished Russian artist Orest Kiprensky (1782–1836), painted in 1809. This portrait is one of Kiprensky's most celebrated pieces and is a prime example of the Romanticism movement that influenced much of his work. The subject of the painting, Colonel Evgraf Vladimirovich Davydov, was a decorated hero of the Napoleonic Wars and a cousin of the famous Russian poet Denis Davydov, known for his hussar lifestyle and poetry.

The portrait is remarkable for its vivid characterisation and the skillful depiction of military regalia, reflecting the subject's status and personality. Kiprensky's mastery in the use of light and shadow is evident in the way he captures the textures of the uniform and the lifelike representation of Colonel Davydov's features. The colonel's gaze is particularly striking, often described as introspective yet commanding, which may reflect the complex nature of a military man living through the turbulent Napoleonic era.

Kiprensky's work is significant in the context of Russian art history, as he is considered one of the leading portraitists of his time, contributing to the development of Russian Romanticism. The "Portrait of Colonel Evgraf V. Davydov" not only showcases Kiprensky's technical prowess but also offers insight into the social and historical fabric of early 19th-century Russia. The painting is held in high esteem and is part of the collection of the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, where it continues to be studied and admired by art enthusiasts and historians alike.
