Portrait of Count Pyotr Valuyev was painted by Ivan Kramskoi in 1880, using oil on canvas. The work measures 71.2 by 56 centimeters and was created in Russia. It depicts Count Pyotr Valuyev, a prominent statesman of the Russian Empire, and is part of the portrait genre for which Kramskoi is well known. The painting presents a half-length portrait of an older man in formal dress uniform, adorned with medals and a sash.

The sitter faces forward, his expression composed and dignified. The background is a dark, neutral tone, which contrasts with the lighter tones of the sitter’s face and the pale blue sash. The brushwork is precise, especially in the rendering of facial features and the textures of hair, fabric, and decorations, reflecting Kramskoi’s attention to individual character and status. This portrait is held by the Hermitage Museum, where it is catalogued under inventory number ЭРЖ-1020.

Ivan Kramskoi was a leading figure in Russian portraiture in the late nineteenth century, and works such as this were often commissioned to honor important public officials. The painting remains a significant example of official portraiture in Imperial Russia and is preserved in one of the country’s foremost art collections.
