Painter Alexei Harlamov was a son of emancipated Russian serfs who won scholarships to study in Paris and later traveled to the Netherlands to enhance his artistic education. His soulful portraits, especially of young women, demonstrate his enormous talent to render personality and emotion. His “Portrait” here shows a unique and complex young girl rather than a flawless child.
