Alexander Bryullov's "Portrait of Princess Natalya Stepanovna Golitsyna," dating back to the 1820s, went on display this week at the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. Bryullov's pencil-drawn sketch of a princess and her pooch is one of over 1,660 items that can be seen in "Russian Drawings and Watercolors," a new exhibition featuring a broad range of works by prominent artists of the 18th and 19th centuries. Since most of the works were created on paper, they are usually kept in storage due to their fragile nature. The exhibition offers a rare chance to see them. "Russian Drawings and Watercolors" runs to Aug. 21 at the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, located at 12 Ulitsa Volkhonka.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
