A Soviet Tank Driver Portrait by Fedor Pavlovich Mishchenko, Circa 1960

This oil painting on canvas depicts a solemn Soviet tank driver, dressed in a heavy black uniform with a fur-lined hat, standing against a muted, wintry backdrop of a rural village with military tanks in the distance. The artist, Fedor Pavlovich Mishchenko (b. 1920), captures a sense of resilience and duty through expressive brushstrokes and a subdued color palette. A document accompanying the painting confirms its origin from St. Petersburg
