Portrait of L.L.Lazareva

Levashova contrasts the figure with a loosely painted landscape, employing broad, gestural brushstrokes that render the surrounding greens and browns in a softened, atmospheric manner. The woman's features are modeled with finer, subtle shading, creating a luminous skin tone and delicate shadows beneath her cheekbones and eyes.

Created in the mid‑nineteenth century, the portrait entered the State Hermitage Museum’s holdings, where it remains on display. Its acquisition reflects the museum’s broader effort to represent Russian portraiture of the period and to preserve Levashova’s contribution to the genre.
