Leo Tolstoy, born in 1828 and passed away in 1910, was a renowned Russian author and philosopher. Throughout his life, he left an indelible mark on the literary world with his masterpieces. In "The Ploughman (Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy at the Plough), " painted by Il ya Repin in 1887, we catch a glimpse of Tolstoy engaged in manual labor, embodying the simplicity he often advocated for. Another captivating image showcases Leo Tolstoy alongside his sister Maria Nikolaevna during the early 1900s. This portrait by Sophia Tolstaya captures their bond as they stand side by side, representing familial ties amidst Russia's cultural backdrop. In yet another photograph from around 1910, we witness Leo Tolstoy sharing a tender moment with his granddaughter Tatiana at Yasnaya Polyana. Vladimir Grigorievich Chertkov skillfully immortalizes this intimate interaction between generations. However, not all depictions capture joyous occasions. A color lithograph portrays the poignant scene of Leo Tolstoi's death at Astapowo railway station during dawn on a fateful day in the early twentieth century. The somber atmosphere evokes reflection upon this great writer's final moments. An engraving from 1892 reveals Count Leo N. Tolstoy engrossed within his office space - an environment where many of his timeless stories were conceived and brought to life. Moving beyond visual representations alone, we encounter Greta Garbo—an American-Swedish actress who became synonymous with portraying Anna Karenina—a character created by none other than Leo Tolstoy himself. Several paintings also provide insight into different aspects of Leon (Leo)Tolstoi’s persona: "LEON TOLSTOI BAREFOOT" depicts him without shoes; perhaps symbolizing simplicity or humility that characterized him throughout life.
