EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of Pyotr I. Shchukin, a renowned collector from Russia in the late 19th century. The photograph, taken by Andrei Osipovich Karelin between 1890-1900, showcases Shchukin's dignified presence and his passion for art. Shchukin is depicted with an air of sophistication, his gaze fixed upon something beyond the frame. His refined features are accentuated by the monochromatic tones, adding depth to his character. This image serves as a window into the world of a man deeply immersed in collecting and preserving artistic treasures. The Museum of Photography History in Nizhni Novgorod proudly houses this albumin print that immortalizes Shchukin's legacy.
