The portrait is executed with masterly skill, marked by vivid expressiveness. The artist psychologically convincingly draws his model. Mark Fedorovich Poltoratsky – the son of the cathedral archpriest from the Chernigov province, fifteen years old, was taken to Petersburg and determined to be a court choir.
Seriously taking up his education, both musical and general, he became first the head of the court choir, then the director of the Singing Chapel. Since 1754 the colonel. Valid State Councilor.
