The Portrait

Adaptations

  • A silent film from 1915 by Ladislas Starevich.
  • The story was the basis of an opera by Mieczysław Weinberg, The Portrait, composed in 1980.
  • The story was adapted for BBC Radio in 2002 as part of the BBC Radio 4 comedy series Three Ivans, Two Aunts and an Overcoat with the title "The Mysterious Portrait" and starred Stephen Moore.[20] This adaptation concludes with Chartkov arrogantly defying the image in the painting and paying a terrible price.
