Mikey Morozov is a son of the industrialist and patron M.A.Morozov. The portrait has been executed in an impressionist manner. The viewer feels the soul of the child in in each detail: cheeks flare, lips are half-open, the look "burns". Focusing attention on the small hero, Serov shows a chaotic game of colours.
At that time the composer was mortally sick and was in Nikolaevsk military hospital. This portrait is one of Repin’s most remarkable works as it is objective unusually vital and truthful.
Everyone who knew the composer, recognized that the portrait truly transfers Musorgsky's character. The artist doesn't hide shortcomings, weaknesses of the great person, he shows that the seriously ill composer doesn't lose the spiritual greatness.
Surikov spent that summer near Moscow in Pererva with his family. There were rainy days at that time. The artist sat in a country house and looked through a historical book. The family gathered at the table sad waiting for good weather. The window was stirred up from rain drops, it became cold, and he remembered Siberia, snow, when nobody wanted to leave а house. He thought of Siberia, about his childhood. Surikov remembered his own destiny; suddenly he remembered something familiar : rain, a window, a bozhnitsa, and picturesque group at a table. „When was it , where?“ — Surikov wondered, and suddenly he remembered „Menshikov! Menshikov in Beryozov!» He saw it in all details and wanted to write a picture
The picture was shown in 1883 at the XI exhibition of Association of peredvizhniki. All admirers liked it very much
