About the painting
Museum text in Russian
Создание собирательных образов людей из народа Крамской считал одной из важнейших задач современного искусства. «А народ-то что может дать! Боже мой, какой громадный родник!» — писал он Илье Репину. В портрете Мины Моисеева ярко проявилось свойственное художнику умение концентрировать внимание на самом существенном. В облике крестьянина, в его свободной, непринужденной позе ощущаются внутреннее спокойствие и независимость. Изборожденное морщинами старческое лицо излучает человеческое тепло, доброту, свидетельствуя об умудренности и жизненном опыте. Русский музей. От иконы до современности. СПб. 2015. С . 181.
