Evgraf Fedorovich Krendovsky

Evgraf Fedorovich Krendovsky (Russian: Евграф Фёдорович Крендовский) was a Russian artist born in 1810 in Kremenchuk, now part of Ukraine, renowned for his work in portrait, genre, and interior painting. Initially engaged in police work in Arzamas, Krendovsky shifted his focus to art, studying under the guidance of Alexey Venetsianov in St. Petersburg from 1830 to 1835​​. Despite a promising start, family circumstances forced him to return to Kremenchuk, where he became a drawing tutor and later achieved the status of "Free Artist" by the Imperial Academy of Arts​​.

Krendovsky's career is marked by a relatively small body of work, with just over twenty known paintings to his name. Some of his most celebrated pieces include portraits and scenes depicting the daily life of Russian society, which now grace collections such as the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow and the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. His notable works include "Portrait of an Unknown Woman in a Violet Dress" and "The Artist’s Daughters" from 1845​.

For art enthusiasts and collectors interested in 19th-century Russian art, Krendovsky remains a figure of fascination due to his unique style and the historical context of his works.
