Woman with a dagger

19世紀後半のロシア写実主義を牽引した画家であり、「移動派」を代表する中心的な人物。

A woman holding a sharp dagger, exuding a mysterious aura.

She might appear to be the heroine of some terrifying incident or a historical figure consumed by vengeance. However, in reality, this woman is a 'mermaid'.

This is one of the oil studies (esquisses) created by the painter Repin for his monumental painting Sadko in the Underwater Kingdom, which is based on a traditional Russian epic poem.
