Portrait of Fyodor V. Sazonov (1780- after 1839) (2nd)

Characterized by a focus on the subject, the portrait features a simple backdrop, directing attention to Sazonov's serious expression and meticulously rendered details of his uniform and medal, signed 'G. Dawe'.

Painted during Dawe's period in Saint Petersburg (from 1819 onwards), where he gained acclaim among Russian cultural elites, the work is now part of the State Hermitage Museum's collection.

This portrait is part of Dawe's oeuvre focusing on Russian military and elite figures during his Saint Petersburg residency, reflecting his appeal to the city's aristocratic and cultural circles.

While specific lasting impacts of this portrait are not highlighted, it remains a representative example of Dawe's work in Russia, accessible through the State Hermitage Museum's holdings.
