Abstract
Alexander Yakovlevich Golovin (1863–1930) is one of the greatest figures of Russian art culture of the late 19th – of the early 20th century. His art became widely known and recognized. Books, essays, a lot of articles are written about. But, the art of Golovin – a portrait painter – is a little studied area of creativity of this wonderful painter. Extensive portrait heritage of the artist is not only not studied in large part, but still little known. It was dispersed, scattered throughout private collections and numerous museums. A number of first-class works are in foreign Museum collections. Many portraits by A.Y. Golovin are in the vaults of the capital's museums. The purpose of this publication is to analyze his portrait work, which will give an opportunity to take a fresh look at this interesting painter.
