Portrait of Arkhip Kuindzhi was painted by Ivan Kramskoi between circa 1879 and circa 1881 in oil on canvas. The work depicts the artist Arkhip Kuindzhi and measures 118 by 84 cm. It is part of the collection of the Scientific-research Museum of the Russian Academy of Arts. The portrait presents a bearded man, identified as Arkhip Kuindzhi, shown standing against a vivid, nearly monochrome red background.

He is dressed in a dark, formal suit with a white shirt visible at the collar and cuff. The figure is rendered with careful attention to facial features and expression, while the clothing and background are treated with broader, more generalized brushwork. The lighting is soft and even, emphasizing the sitter’s face and upper body. Portraiture in late nineteenth-century Russia often focused on prominent cultural figures, with artists such as Ivan Kramskoi known for his psychological insight and restrained realism.

This painting was created during the period when both Kramskoi and Kuindzhi were active in the Russian art world. The work is held today in the Scientific-research Museum of the Russian Academy of Arts, Saint Petersburg, under inventory number Ж-228.
