EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a tender moment between renowned Russian author Leo Tolstoy and his son Leo, taken in Russia in 1899. The artist behind this remarkable piece is none other than Sophia Tolstaya, the wife of Leo Tolstoy herself. In this intimate portrait, we see the bearded father seated comfortably on a chair, exuding wisdom and literary prowess. His son, a spitting image of his father with his own beard beginning to form, sits beside him attentively. It is evident that this snapshot showcases not only their physical resemblance but also hints at the passing down of intellectual legacy from one generation to another. The setting reflects an era long gone by - the late 19th century - with its antique furniture adding a touch of nostalgia to the scene. This photograph serves as a testament to family bonds and fatherhood as it immortalizes Leo Tolstoy's role not just as an influential writer but also as a loving dad. Preserved within the State Museum of Leo Tolstoy in Moscow, this albumen photograph holds historical significance for literature enthusiasts worldwide. Its monochrome composition adds depth and timelessness to an already iconic image. Sophia Behrs' artistic eye has truly captured both the essence of her husband's character and their shared love for their children through this extraordinary portrait.
