Description of the painting by Orest Kiprensky “Portrait of Natalia Kochubey”
Before us is a gorgeous pencil drawing. He is very correct and at the same time extraordinary. Feels special brightness and incredible vitality of all colors. In all, you can see the special skill of Kiprensky, his special taste and a strong mind.
Before us is a fully formed style. The format of the creation is small, the background is thickly hatched, and then a small tint is applied using pastels.
We feel a real painter who understands the background not as a plane of the closing character, but as a special space.
The light figure is located on a dark background. This environment around the figure is filled with a huge amount of sounds. She resonates in a special way.
Kochubey is graceful. By this she is really able to conquer all. We feel that the girl’s manners are really good. She received an excellent upbringing, and her noble origin.
The whole picture is filled with a special movement.
Kiprensky creates this magnificent portrait in 1813. At this time, the heroine turned 12 years old. But we already feel those features of her that later will amaze Pushkin himself. Kochubey’s young face is very beautiful. Eyes – bright and clear. The forehead is clean and high. Dark-colored hair is neatly combed back. Before us is a truly beautiful pure creature.
Kiprensky depicts a teenage girl. But you can already feel its special majesty and true grace. It is no coincidence that later she will become a real secular legislator.
We see Natalia Kochubey in her home dress. His ribbons are deliberately not tied, so the beauty of the neck is not hidden. Kiprensky writes a girl in half a turn. Discontent is read on her face. But such a facial expression does not spoil her at all.
Kiprensky managed to convey the liveliness and mobility of the heroine. Before us is a true masterpiece of a true master.
