Orest Adamovich Kiprenskiĭ

1782–1836

**Orest Adamovich Kiprensky** (Russian: Оре́ст Ада́мович Кипре́нский; 24 March [O.S. 13 March ] 1782 – 17 October [O.S. 5 October ] 1836) was a leading Russian portraitist in the Age of Romanticism. His most familiar work is probably his portrait of Alexander Pushkin (1827), which prompted the poet to remark that "the mirror flatters me."
