Man with glasses by Mstislav Dobuzhinsky

Not being a portraitist, Dobuzhinsky created one of the most capacious images-symbols, embodying a whole generation of intellectuals-townspeople.

The painting depicts the poet and art critic KA A. Sünnerberg, who acted under the pseudonym Konst. Erberg. The person is tightly closed in the rigid shell of a respectable dress, his eyes, obscured from the world by glasses, are almost invisible.

The whole figure as if does not have a volume, is spread out, squeezed in an unthinkably close space. A person as an exhibit in a display window against the backdrop of a fantastic city – St. Petersburg, which is seen outside the window, revealing its face – a mixture of multi-storey urbanism and provincial backyards.
