Vlastislav Hofman's drawing for Dostoyevsky's novel Crime and Punishment. The personified Svidrigailov is depicted as a scoundrel who lacks conscience and moral principles, but excels in purposefulness and is a kind of projection of the main character Raskolnikov, if he had fulfilled all his foolish visions.
