Portrait of an Unknown Woman is a painting by the Russian artist
Ivan Kramskoi, executed in 1883. The identity of the model is unknown and
depicts a woman of "quiet strength and forthright gaze".It is one of Russia's
best-known art works, although a number of critics were indignant when the
painting was first exhibited and condemned what they saw as a depiction of a
haughty and immoral woman. Its popularity has grown with changes in public
taste.
