Ivan Kramskoi painted Mina Moiseyev in 1882 using oil on canvas. The work measures 56.5 by 45 centimeters and is held in the Russian Museum. It is an example of Kramskoi's focus on portraying people from the Russian peasantry, a theme he considered central to modern art. The portrait depicts an elderly man with a long, grey beard and weathered face, seated with his arms folded.

He wears a simple, loose-fitting blue shirt. The figure is rendered with careful attention to the textures of skin and hair, and the background is kept dark, concentrating attention on the sitter’s face and upper body. The man’s expression, marked by a gentle smile and deeply lined features, conveys a sense of warmth, wisdom, and calm. Kramskoi was a leading figure among the Russian Realist painters of the late nineteenth century, known for his commitment to honest and respectful depictions of ordinary people.

Mina Moiseyev was created during a period when Kramskoi was especially interested in capturing the dignity and individuality of rural Russians. The painting remains in the collection of the Russian Museum, where it is catalogued under inventory number Ж-2993.
