EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour portrait, titled "Portrait of Count Viktor Yegorovich Kankrin (From the Album of the Imperial Horse Guards)", offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century Russia. Painted by Vladimir Ivanovich Hau between 1846 and 1849, this artwork showcases his mastery in capturing both the physical likeness and inner essence of his subject. Count Viktor Yegorovich Kankrin was an esteemed member of the Russian Imperial Guard, specifically serving in the prestigious Leib Guard. As part of the personal guards to the Emperor of Russia, he belonged to the renowned Chevalier Guard Regiment within the Imperial Horse Guards. This painting immortalizes him as a symbol of honor and loyalty. Hau's use of vibrant colors adds depth and richness to this piece, enhancing its romanticism. The artist skillfully portrays Kankrin's noble features with meticulous attention to detail, highlighting every contour and expression on his face. Through this intimate portrayal, we catch a glimpse into Kankrin's character - strong-willed yet refined. Displayed at Pushkin House in St Petersburg, this artwork is now preserved at Institut of Russian Literature IRLI for all art enthusiasts to admire. It serves as a testament not only to Hau's artistic prowess but also as a window into an era defined by imperial grandeur and military excellence. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait today, we are transported back in time - witnessing both an individual's legacy and a nation's history unfold before our eyes.
