"A Violin Maker" is a 1914 painting by the Russian artist Vladimir Egorovich Makovsky (1846–1920), known for his social-realist works that often depicted the lives of the Russian people during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The painting portrays an elderly craftsman in the process of creating or repairing a violin, capturing the meticulous attention to detail and the deep concentration that the art of violin-making requires.

Makovsky's work is characterized by its fine detail, vibrant realism, and emotional depth, qualities that are evident in "A Violin Maker." The painting not only highlights the skill and dedication of the artisan but also reflects the broader cultural significance of music and craftsmanship in Russian society. The violin maker, absorbed in his task, represents the intersection of tradition, artistry, and the individual labor that was a common theme in Makovsky's oeuvre.

As a member of the "Peredvizhniki" (Wanderers or Itinerants), a group of Russian realist artists who formed an artists' cooperative in protest of academic restrictions, Makovsky's work often conveyed a sense of social awareness and empathy for the common people. "A Violin Maker" fits within this context, offering a glimpse into the everyday life of a humble craftsman, while also celebrating the cultural importance of his work.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allows for the rich texture and depth that Makovsky achieves in his depiction of the wood shavings, the violin's smooth surface, and the weathered hands of the maker. The use of lighting and shadow in the composition further accentuates the focus and dedication of the craftsman, drawing the viewer's eye to the central action of the scene.

"A Violin Maker" by Vladimir Egorovich Makovsky remains an important work within the artist's portfolio, reflecting the themes of labor, culture, and the human condition that are central to his artistic legacy. The painting is held in a private collection, museum, or gallery, and it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance within the genre of Russian realism.
