Portrait of A. N. Ostrovsky, writer by Vasily Perov

Among the portraits written by Perov, the portrait of the writer A. N. Ostrovsky is especially notable. Perov loved the plays of Ostrovsky, often watched them in the Maly Theater, and he visited Ostrovsky himself, whom he knew well. And he wrote it the way he used to see at home, in an old squirrel sheepskin coat. He sits on a chair, slightly leaning forward, and looks at the audience with intelligent and kind eyes.
