A detail of Vasily Perov’s 1872 portrait of the writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky. The deeply introspective writer looks worn and almost gaunt and gazes down and to his right. The dark background and light coming from the upper right corner is rather Rembrandt-esque.

“Very often among a certain highly intelligent type of people, quite paradoxical ideas will establish themselves. But they have suffered so much in their lives for these ideas, and have paid so high a price for them that it becomes very painful, indeed almost impossible, for them to part with them.” ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The House of the Dead
