About the painting
Ceremonial Sitting of the State Council on 7 May 1901 Marking the Centenary of its Foundation (Russian: Торжественное заседание Государственного совета 7 мая 1901 года в день столетнего юбилея со дня его учреждения) is an oil on canvas painting of 1903 by the artist Ilya Repin. The State Council (Russian Empire) had its centenary at the Mariinsky Palace marked by Ripyn's work. Ripyn quickly sketched while in the room, and later expanded this into the full painting with the aid of assistants Boris Kustodiev and Ivan Kulikov. The photorealism of the painting was noted in its time.
