Description

English: The portrait of Kassyan, the protagonist of the short story Kassyan of Fair Springs by Ivan Turgenev (from the collection A Sportsman's Sketches).

“	Picture to yourself a little creature of fifty years old, with a little round wrinkled face, a sharp nose, little, scarcely visible, brown eyes, and thick curly black hair, which stood out on his tiny head like the cap on the top of a mushroom. His whole person was excessively thin and weakly, and it is absolutely impossible to translate into words the extraordinary strangeness of his expression.	”
—Ivan Turgenev. Kassyan of Fair Springs (translation by Constance Garnett).

Русский: Портрет Касьяна, главного героя рассказа И.С. Тургенева «Касьян с Красивой мечи» (из цикла «Записки охотника»).

“	Вообразите себе карлика лет пятидесяти с маленьким, смуглым и сморщенным лицом, острым носиком, карими, едва заметными глазками и курчавыми, густыми черными волосами, которые, как шляпка на грибе, широко сидели на крошечной его головке. Всё тело его было чрезвычайно тщедушно и худо, и решительно нельзя передать словами, до чего был необыкновенен и странен его взгляд.	”
—И.С. Тургенев. Касьян с красивой мечи.

Object history

This and other two drawings (Hamlet of the Shtchigri District and The Peasant Proprietor Ovsyanikov) were discovered pasted in the first one-book editions of A Sportsman's Sketches belonged to Nikolay Shchepkin (1850–1914), the steward of Ivan Turgenev’s landed property in 1876–1880. Shchepkin made an inscription on a flyleaf of the book: “Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev told me personally that the drawings in this book were of his own work. N. Shchepkin. This book was given me personally by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev in 1880. Nikolay Shchepkin. 10 February 1903.”
