Portrait of Alexander Griboyedov is an oil on canvas painting created by Ivan Kramskoi in 1873. The work measures 68 by 58.5 centimeters and is held in the collection of the Tretyakov Gallery (inventory number 660). The subject is Alexander Sergeyevich Griboyedov, a Russian diplomat, playwright, and composer, whose likeness is rendered in a formal, three-quarter view. The portrait presents Griboyedov seated against a deep red upholstered chair, dressed in formal attire with a white vest, high-collared shirt, and dark coat.

He wears small round spectacles and gazes slightly to his left, his expression reserved and contemplative. The background is a muted, textured gradient of earthy tones, which contrasts with the crisp whites and deep blacks of his clothing, focusing attention on the sitter’s face and upper body. The brushwork is precise, especially in the rendering of facial features and textiles. This painting was completed in 1873, during a period when Ivan Kramskoi was active as a leading portraitist in Russia.

The work is part of the Tretyakov Gallery’s collection, as documented by its inventory listing. It has been referenced in the second edition of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia, volume 12. No further specific details about its commission, provenance, or exhibition history are documented.
