The Boxer - Konstantin Andreevic Somov Art Print

Fine Art Prints

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do.

Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones. While the matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.

Framed Fine Art Prints

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.

Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural. Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine. And your artwork is protected behind ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

Float Framed Canvas Prints

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision, catching light and color with striking clarity. While a precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect. Finished with your choice of frame color — black, white or natural — made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

Konstantin Somov’s The Boxer is a mesmerizing oil portrait of Boris Snezhkovsky, a frequent model and muse for the artist. This painting, an epitome of Somov's fascination with light and form, showcases Snezhkovsky's muscular physique in a half-length nude pose. The still life elements—a mirror, a chest of drawers, and boxing gloves—add layers of narrative and introspection, offering a glimpse into the model’s daily life.

Somov renders The Boxer painting with a luminous natural light that sculpts the athlete's sinuous muscles and lithe form. A homoerotic oil painting epitomizing Somov’s mastery of both portraiture and the nuanced interplay of chiaroscuro.

Known for his allegiance to the Old Masters, particularly Rococo painter François Boucher, Somov’s technique reflects a meticulous attention to detail, rendering both the human figure and inanimate objects with equal reverence.

Its rich narrative and technical brilliance make Somov's The Boxer a captivating piece bridging the artist’s classical influences with his personal, contemporary context.
