A Painting of Mr. Kramskoi" (original Russian title: "??????? ? ???????». ??????? ?. ?????????"), "the entire figure seems to have diminished a bit from its natural size, contracted, not from starvation, thirst and bad weather, but from internal, inhuman insight to his thought and will during the struggle of forces of spirit and flesh".
