Repin painted portraits of Tolstoy many times. In 1891, he depicted a writer lying with a book under a tree, in Yasnaya Polyana.
Tolstoy lies in a cozy place, under the trees in the shade, on his blue robe, covered with white. Sunny bunnies, which have painted the writer’s white attire, jumping everywhere – on clothes, grass, foliage of trees – give the picture an inexplicable charm.
Repin himself considered this picture beautiful. He enjoyed the spectacle of the great man’s rest, when his body, weary for years, and perhaps the physical work that was done, needed rest, and the tireless and cheerful spirit insistently demanded food for its incessant activity.
