Nikolay Fedorovich Smolin (1888–1962) was a portrait artist. Smolin created landscapes, still lifes, and paintings on historical and everyday life themes, but it is primarily his portraits that have been preserved. Some of these portraits skillfully combine a tendency towards realism with the characteristics of the Feshin school.
