The portrait of IA Krylov is attracted by the poetic nature of the image and the depth of the psychological characteristics. In it the best theme of Bryullov-portraitist is raised – the beauty of creative inspiration. Puffily, Krylov’s puffy face, with its gray hair and bobs hanging erratically on the forehead and whiskey, was transformed by the unfading light of human thought.
The writer’s costume is at home simple, clumsily poking on his heavy figure. Subtle and tactfully covers the artist on the side of the coat with the medal of the decoration on his neck and breast, as if avoiding the attributes of a high-profile portrait. The silver of the half-closed star gleams a little, the red ribbon of the Vladimir and Annensky crosses dulls, without disturbing the general impression of the intimacy of the image of the remarkable fabulist.
Prudently passed Bryullov wise view of Krylov, who was able to accurately launch sharply honed social arrows under the cover of an allegorical joke.
Bryullov did not finish his work.
