The presented for auction shoulder-length study of Christ in a head-dress by Vasily Polenov is part of the artist’s preparatory work for one of the greatest canvasses of his famous Biblical series — Christ and the Sinner, 1888, now in the collection of the State Russian Museum. The series constitutes not only an exceptional part of the artist’s oeuvre, but equally of the 19th century Russian realist school as a whole.
