Portrait of Yevgeny Mravinsky is a painting by Russian portrait artist Lev Russov (1926–1987), whose work depicts the famous Russian and Soviet musician Yevgeny Aleksandrovich Mravinsky (1903—1988), principal conductor of the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra from 1938–1988.
Evgeny Mravinsky is depicted at home, seated in an armchair, immersed in thought.
The primary focus of the artwork is to portray Mravinsky as a contemporary intellectual with a strong sense of independence, willpower, and self-assuredness.
In 1957, the portrait was exhibited at the Leningrad artists show in the Russian State Museum for the first time.
