About the painting
Museum text in Russian
На белом фоне незакрашенного краской грунта - низко сидящий с поворотом вправо рыжий молодой человек, с короткой бородкой и жидкими усиками. Одет в черный пиджак, из-под которого видна светло-розовая косоворотка. Локоть правой руки опущен на бедро правой ноги, кить свободно свисает.

In the life of Ilya Repin
The whole life1877–1882
Savva Mamontov’s circle at Abramtsevo
In Moscow Repin frequented the art circle of Savva Mamontov at his estate Abramtsevo near Moscow, where he met many of the leading painters of the day — Vasily Polenov, Valentin Serov, Mikhail Vrubel.
1881

autumn 1882
Vozvrashcheniye v Peterburg
38-летний художник вернулся из Москвы с набросками «Запорожцев», «Ареста пропагандиста», «Ивана Грозного» и сотнями этюдов.
1883
“Religious Procession in Kursk Province” at the exhibition
Repin worked for three years on the picture, which he first called “The Wonder-Working Icon”, gathering material in Kursk province, Kiev and Chernigov; it contains at least seventy figures with clear characters. Novoye Vremya saw in it not an impartial image of Russian reality but only an exposure of the artist’s views, whereas Igor Grabar later held that it established Repin’s reputation as Russia’s foremost artist.
1883
Travels in Western Europe with Stasov; the Communards’ wall
In 1883 Repin travelled around Western Europe with Vladimir Stasov; the same year he painted “The Wall of Père Lachaise Cemetery Commemorating the Paris Commune”.
