He painted in a painterly (visible brushstroke), Impressionist style both in the Russian phase of his career and later in France.
As I mentioned in the earlier post, he carries this further that I prefer. This is best for landscapes, but the first portrait shown below works well when not seen enlarged (as you can do by clicking on it if you're viewing this on a desktop computer or possibly on a laptop).

Perhaps due to it being nearly a full-figure work, his sketchy approach is less effective on Pertseva.

The paintings by Konstantin Korovin featured in this post are truly mesmerizing! His use of color and light captures the essence of each scene beautifully.
