Argunov Nikolai (1770-1828) RETRATO DE N. A. GRIBOVSKAYA 1795 Tamaño - 67x53 Material - lona Técnica - óleo Número de inventario - Zh-299 Recibido de la colección de N.A. Gerasimov.1964

El retrato de Natalya Akimovna Gribovskaya fue pintado por el joven y talentoso artista Nikolai Ivanovich Argunov simultáneamente con el retrato de su esposo Adrian Moiseevich Gribovsky, con motivo del nombramiento de este último para el puesto de Secretario de Estado de la emperatriz Catalina II. El formato de un pequeño retrato de cámara le permite transmitir el mundo interior y el carácter de Gribovskaya. La pose de la modelo en un giro de tres cuartos con el rostro vuelto hacia el espectador es tranquila y sobria. La joven va vestida a la moda de la época con un vestido de cintura alta. El escote de encaje está adornado con un pañuelo transparente que cubre el busto. El color de la obra se basa en las mejores combinaciones de lila y oro y se distingue por la sofisticación. La luz deslizante cae sobre la figura de la izquierda y disuelve la intensidad de los tonos de color individuales. Ilumina el rostro de la heroína y resplandece sobre el adorno del chal bordado con hilo dorado. Los pliegues texturizados de la ropa dan a la imagen un ritmo caprichoso. El suave desvanecimiento del esquema de color, el ligero desenfoque del contorno, ayudan a crear la imagen de una mujer joven avivada por el sentimentalismo. La estructura emocional del modelo se caracteriza por la suavidad y la feminidad. SOBRE EL. Gribovskaya se distinguió por su belleza, fue una buena ama de casa y una esposa amorosa. Pero se sabe que también podía mostrar un carácter fuerte: las Notas sobre Catalina la Grande de su esposo mencionan sus esfuerzos para liberarlo del encarcelamiento en las fortalezas de Peter y Paul y Shlisselburg. Debido a estas circunstancias, Natalya Akimovna vivía alejada de la vida de la capital y pasaba principalmente su tiempo en las propiedades de Vishnevchik en la provincia de Podolsk y Shchurovo cerca de Kolomna. El retrato procede de la colección de N.N. Guberti, bisnieto de N.A. Gribovskaya a través de la hija de Elena Adrianovna. La claridad de la composición, la claridad del dibujo del retrato, indican los rasgos característicos del estilo del clasicismo, y en términos de sofisticación pictórica, este trabajo es uno de los mejores en el trabajo de Nikolai Argunov.

Иван Аргунов. Портрет Анны Николаевны (калмычки Аннушки) | Portrait of Anna Nikolaevna (Kalmyk Girl Annushka), by Ivan Argunov, 1767.

Annushka (Anna Nikolaevna) (1758? - 1799?) was the favourite pupil of Countess Varvara Alekseevna Sheremeteva. Wanting to perpetuate the memory of his wife, Pyotr Borisovich Sheremetev ordered his serf artist Ivan Argunov a portrait of her beloved Kalmyk pupil. In the image of the girl, he wanted to glorify the educational and charitable activities of Varvara Alekseevna. Annushka holds an engraved image of her mistress in her hands, showing it to the viewer. This painting is considered to be one of the best children’s portraits by Argunov.

Anna Nikolaevna received a proper education. She knew how to read, write, sing, dance, knew French. In 1793, Anna Nikolaevna married a nobleman of the Kostroma district, officer Pyotr Ivanovich Fatyanov. Nikolai Petrovich (son of Varvara Alekseevna) gave a good dowry and appointed an annual pension of two hundred rubles for the bride. Anna Nikolaevna and her husband had two children, who were named Pyotr and Varvara in honour of the Sheremetevs.

Talking of roses I would also like to introduce you a painting by Nikolai Argunov (1771- after1829) called "Portrait of Ivan Yakimov dressed as Cupid" (1790).

This one is a typical example of late 18th and early 19th century portraits. All the objects surrounding the person portrayed  give us clues about who is depicted here. Bow and arrows, wings and roses are symbols of Cupid - the god of love. Ivan Yakimov was a serf of count Sheremetev as well as the artist Nikolai Argunov himself. Yakimov was a member of the Sheremetev's serf theatre and ballet troupe. Here's what the count once recalled of Yakimov's appearance on stage:"The graces carried him in a basket with garlands of roses, and as they only expected to find roses in it, the unexpected appearance of this cupid enraptured the entire audience."

As for Nikolai Argunov he was a son of Ivan Argunov - a famous serf painter of 18th century who also belonged to Sheremetev. As the count Sheremetev died in 1809 many of his musicians and artist were let go to seek for work on their own. Nikolai Argunov was officially granted freedom 7 years later - at the age of 45. As a serf Nikolai Argunov had to satisfy his commissioners and often copy techniques of famous artists of the time. But not alike his early works many of his latest paintings prove that he was a master with great skills and high interest for character and psychology of those who's portrait he painted.
