Works by Vasily Perov (1834-1882), in the public domain, each linked to its record in the museum that holds it. Born in Tobolsk, trained at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture and then a pensioner of the Academy in Paris from 1862 to 1869, Perov painted in the 1860s the life of Russia's humble people (The Troika, 1866; The Last Tavern at the City Gate, 1868; A Drowned Woman, 1867), peasants and pilgrims (Wanderer, 1870), and later the portraits of the writers of his time (Dostoevsky, Ostrovsky, Dahl, Maykov, Turgenev). A founding member of the Society for Travelling Art Exhibitions, he taught in Moscow from 1871 until his death. Only works that the museums attribute to him without reservation, and of which a freely reusable photograph exists, are included: public-domain files from Wikimedia Commons (faithful reproductions of flat works), including one CC BY-SA 4.0 photograph by a named photographer; the origin of each image is given on the page of the work. The titles are those of the museums, with their translation.
