Ivan Kuzmich Makarov (Russian: Ива́н Кузьми́ч Мака́ров) was a Russian artist of the second half of the 19th century. He is known as a painter, one of the greatest portraitists of his time, a representative of academism.
Ivan Makarov in his portraits was able to present the model in the most favorable light, while maintaining the realism of the image. He was especially good at female and children's portraits. The artist's manner of painting is distinguished by the rigor of drawing, restraint of coloring, often built on a combination of tones - soft pink, silvery, bluish, light gray. The master often inscribed the composition in a round or oval shape of the picture.
The artist also painted many icons for churches and other religious paintings.
