About this work

Ilya Repin's 1879 painting Refusal of Confession, held by the Tretyakov Gallery, shows a priest in a black cassock and tall cap holding a silver cross before a seated, disheveled man in a grey coat. The dim interior, with a bed and iron railing behind the figures, is rendered in dark browns and warm reddish tones that focus attention on the tense exchange between the two men.
