Over het schilderij
Portrait of D. A. Furmanov is a painting by the Russian and Soviet artist Sergey Malyutin, created in 1922. It is part of the collection of the State Tretyakov Gallery. The painting depicts a prominent participant in the Civil War and Soviet writer Dmitry Andreyevich Furmanov. The portrait is the most famous work of the artist, and one of the finest examples of Soviet portrait painting. Art historian and author of a monograph on the artist's work, I. Ilyushin, called the painting a "true triumph of portrait art", noting that a Soviet person cannot imagine the writer differently from how the artist depicted him on this canvas. According to Doctor of Art History Dmitry Sarabyanov, the artist managed to capture in the portrait the image of a new homo sovieticus — an intellectual and humanist, who became the heir to all the progressive elements of pre-revolutionary Russia's cultural heritage.

Candidate of Art History Kira Sazonova considered the Portrait of D. A. Furmanov unusual in its painterly-plastic structure and the poetic means employed by the artist. On one hand, it is quite traditional (created in continuation of the realist traditions of pre-revolutionary Russia). On the other hand, the portrait was not only a product of a new era but also laid the foundation for a new art. Candidate of Art History Valentina Knyazeva believed that Malyutin's painting established the foundations for the future method of socialist realism, as it conveys both the individual essence of the subject and the typical traits of a person of his time.
