The purpose of the article is to determine significance and function of a verbal portrait in M. V. Nesterov’s memoirs “My Bygone Days” using a particular representative sketch “I. P. Pavlov” as an example. It is proved that a verbal portrait is an essential means of depicting a character in the studied work, which contributes to understanding of the artist’s style. Scientific novelty of the research lies in considering a verbal portrait in the painter’s prose as a predominant way of depicting characters. The attained results have shown that depiction of characters through a verbal portrait also helps the author to express his own persona, reflect the age in which he lived and worked.
