Vera Smirnova’s evocative portrait of F. Scott Fitzgerald captures the poise and intensity of the celebrated American author in a sharply composed profile. With a limited, sepia-toned palette and refined brushwork, Smirnova presents Fitzgerald in formal attire, his expression thoughtful and slightly distant—suggesting both the glamour and the inner complexity that defined his life and writing. The subtle modeling of light and shadow lends the image a quiet gravitas, echoing the elegance and melancholy of Fitzgerald’s literary world. A timeless tribute to the voice of the Jazz Age.
