Portrait of Dmitry Grigorovich by Ivan Kramskoi is an oil painting completed in 1876, depicting the Russian writer Dmitry Grigorovich (1822–1900). The subject is shown at half-length, standing against a neutral, warm-toned background. Grigorovich’s face is rendered with close attention to detail, his grey hair and distinctive side-whiskers carefully modeled, and his expression is direct and contemplative. The sitter wears a dark jacket and bow tie, holding a pair of spectacles in his right hand.

The composition is simple, focusing on the upper body and head, with the background kept unobtrusive to emphasize the features and character of the subject. The brushwork is precise in the face and hands, while broader strokes are used for the clothing and background, creating a contrast that draws attention to Grigorovich’s visage. This portrait belongs to a tradition of 19th-century Russian realist portraiture, in which prominent cultural figures were often depicted by leading artists of the era. Ivan Kramskoi was a central figure in the Russian realist movement and painted a number of portraits of writers, artists, and intellectuals.

The painting is documented as part of a collection accessible through an online resource dedicated to Grigorovich, with its creation dated to 1876.
