Nekhlyudov lying in bed, wide awake, staring upward — the awakening of conscience that opens the novel. Part I, Ch. 1. A larger-format original; appears to be the Нива serialisation plate. --- ## 2 - id: pasternak-res-002 - type: illustration - subject: Jury and court officials seated — courtroom scene - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; courtroom jury / assessors - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_003.jpg - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_003.jpg - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-res-awake-003.jpg - note: Charcoal drawing, signed «Пастернак» lower left. Five men in dark suits seated in a row, one in glasses — jurors/assessors at the district court. Part I, trial chapters (Ch. 19–27). Pasternak captures the bored, self-important air Tolstoy satirises. --- ## 3 - id: pasternak-res-003 - type: illustration - subject: Katyusha Maslova standing at the prisoner's dock, flanked by two guards - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; Katyusha Maslova; Nekhlyudov (background, lower right) - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_004.jpg - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_004.jpg - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-res-awake-004.jpg - note: Charcoal drawing, signed lower left. Katyusha stands centre at the dock rail, head slightly raised, wearing a white headscarf and grey prison coat; two soldiers with rifles on either side; two co-defendants seated. Nekhlyudov visible lower right (seen from behind). Part I, trial, Ch. 19–27. One of the central iconic images of the novel. --- ## 4 - id: pasternak-res-004 - type: illustration - subject: Court judges / presiding officials at the bench - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; judges / court president - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_005.jpg - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_005.jpg - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-res-awake-005.jpg - note: Charcoal drawing, signed lower left. Two robed judges at a document-covered bench; a third figure (clerk?) leans left in background. Candelabra visible left. Part I, trial scene. Tolstoy mocks the court machinery; Pasternak renders the judges as weary functionaries. --- ## 5 - id: pasternak-res-005 - type: illustration - subject: Women's prison ward — multiple prisoners in a barrack-like room - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; Katyusha Maslova; prison inmates - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_006.jpg - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_006.jpg - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-res-awake-006.jpg - note: Charcoal drawing. Interior of a women's prison ward; barred windows let in dim light. Several women in grey prison dress; one stoops over a bed, another reads a letter, a third sits head in hands. Katyusha's prison life, Part I. One of the most atmospheric interior views in the series. --- ## 6 - id: pasternak-res-006 - type: illustration - subject: Prison visiting corridor — guard between two cage-like cells full of prisoners - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; Nekhlyudov; prison warden; convicts - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_007.jpg - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_007.jpg - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-res-awake-007.jpg - note: Charcoal drawing. Long corridor; rows of prisoners crowd cage-fencing on both sides; a uniformed warden stands centre. Depicts the prison visiting hall Nekhlyudov must navigate to see Katyusha (Part I, Ch. 43–44). The perspective and press of bodies is striking. --- ## 7 - id: pasternak-res-007 - type: illustration - subject: Society buffet / banquet scene — officers and an elegant woman - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; Missy Korchagin or society figures; uniformed officials - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_008.jpg - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_008.jpg - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-res-awake-008.jpg - note: Watercolour wash. A general or senior official in uniform eating at a laden table; another bearded gentleman at left; an elegantly dressed woman in black at right. Satirises the privileged society world Nekhlyudov is trying to leave behind. Part I. One of the coloured plates in the series. --- ## 8 - id: pasternak-res-008 - type: illustration - subject: Prisoners being assembled / escorted in prison — group with guard - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; convicts; prison guard - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_009.jpg - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_009.jpg - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-res-awake-009.jpg - note: Charcoal drawing. A uniformed guard (sword at hip) moves through a crowd of grey-coated convicts in a prison room or yard; barred windows visible. The assembly or departure of a prisoner group — probably the étape staging area. Parts II–III. --- ## 9 - id: pasternak-res-009 - type: illustration - subject: Woman in a theatre box — society scene - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; Missy Korchagin; Nekhlyudov (implied) - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_010.jpg - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_010.jpg - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-res-awake-010.jpg - note: Watercolour wash. A young elegantly dressed woman with feathered hat and white gloves sits in a theatre box, gesturing with her fan; a military officer beside her; stage visible in background. Likely Missy Korchagin — the society match Nekhlyudov is expected to make. Part I. One of the coloured plates. --- ## 10 - id: pasternak-res-010 - type: illustration - subject: Nekhlyudov visiting peasants on his estate — village scene - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; Prince Nekhlyudov; peasant women and children - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_011.gif - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_011.gif - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-res-awake-011.gif - note: Watercolour wash. A gentleman in white coat and hat (Nekhlyudov, seen from behind) faces a cluster of peasant women and children outside wooden village huts; bright summer sky. Nekhlyudov's visits to his estates to redistribute land — Part II. One of the richest coloured plates in the series. --- ## 11 - id: pasternak-res-011 - type: illustration - subject: Horse-drawn sledge in a winter landscape — the Siberian journey - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; convict party; Nekhlyudov - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_012.gif - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_012.gif - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-res-awake-012.gif - note: Watercolour wash. A troika with driver urges horses across a snow-covered plain under grey sky; several figures huddled on the sledge. Likely the Siberian march of the convict party, Part III. The desolate landscape underscores the exile theme. --- ## 12 - id: pasternak-res-012 - type: illustration - subject: Rainy night street scene — solitary hunched figure under gas lamps - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; Katyusha Maslova - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_013.gif - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_013.gif - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-res-awake-013.gif - note: Pastel/chalk drawing in blue-green tones. A lone figure stooped against rain and wind on a wet street lit by gas lamps; steam or fog rises from the cobbles. Depicts Katyusha homeless and desperate after being turned out — the night before the Easter meeting that seals her fate. Part I, backstory. One of the most expressionistic plates in the series. --- ## 13 - id: pasternak-res-013 - type: illustration - subject: Carriage passing a column of soldiers in city streets - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; Nekhlyudov; soldiers - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_014.gif - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_014.gif - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-res-awake-014.gif - note: Watercolour wash. Open carriage with coachman on the box; passengers (young woman, child) with parasol; bayonet-bearing soldiers march past in ranks; church domes in background. Urban Petersburg or Moscow; contrasts civilian privilege and state military power. Part I. --- ## 14 - id: pasternak-res-014 - type: illustration - subject: Russian landscape — birch trees, factory chimneys, church domes - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_015.gif - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_015.gif - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-res-awake-015.gif - note: Watercolour wash. Birch grove in early spring (bare branches, first leaves); a crow perches on one tree; industrial chimneys and Orthodox church domes visible across a broad plain. Landscape vignette, possibly the Siberian exile destination or industrial outskirts. Parts II–III. A rare purely landscape plate. --- ## 15 - id: pasternak-res-015 - type: illustration - subject: Woman reading by lamplight — interior, night - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; Katyusha Maslova or Vera Bogodukhovskaya - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_016.gif - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_016.gif - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-res-awake-016.gif - note: Pastel/chalk. A woman in a grey dress and white headscarf sits bent over a book at a small table; blue lamp burns beside her. Possibly Katyusha in her prison cell reading — or one of the political prisoner women (Vera Bogodukhovskaya/Shustova) introduced in Part II. Intimate, contemplative mood. --- ## 16 - id: pasternak-res-016 - type: illustration - subject: Nekhlyudov waking in bed — the opening of the novel (cleaner printing) - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; Prince Dmitri Nekhlyudov - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:1900_The_Awakening.jpg - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1900_The_Awakening.jpg - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-1900-awakening.jpg - note: Charcoal drawing, c. 1900. Nekhlyudov in bed, wide awake, resting on crumpled pillows — identical composition to res-awake-002 but from a different printing/source, sharper. Title "The Awakening" (Воскресение). Part I, Ch. 1 — the novel's literal and symbolic opening image. --- ## 17 - id: pasternak-res-017 - type: illustration - subject: Katyusha Maslova standing at the prisoner's dock — trial (second printing version) - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; Katyusha Maslova; soldiers; co-defendants - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Awakening_Chapter35.jpg - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Awakening_Chapter35.jpg - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-chapter35.jpg - note: Charcoal drawing. Chapter 35 of the Wikisource edition. Same composition as res-awake-004 (Katyusha at the dock, two guards, co-defendants seated) but from a different scan/printing — slightly different tonal quality. Part I, trial. Used across multiple Wikipedia language editions of the Resurrection article. --- ## 18 - id: pasternak-res-018 - type: illustration - subject: Easter night church procession — congregation with candles - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; Katyusha Maslova (implied); congregation - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Awakening_Chapter57.jpg - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Awakening_Chapter57.jpg - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-chapter57.jpg - note: Charcoal drawing. A dense crowd of worshippers — clergy, women in headscarves, children — each holding a candle; outdoor Easter procession (крестный ход) at night. Chapter 57. Relates to the flashback Easter night when young Nekhlyudov seduces Katyusha — the night that defines the entire novel. Part I backstory. One of the most frequently reproduced of all Pasternak's Resurrection images. --- ## 19 - id: pasternak-res-019 - type: illustration - subject: Katyusha at a prison cell door with a uniformed warden holding keys - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; Katyusha Maslova; prison warden - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Awakening_Chapter74.jpg - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Awakening_Chapter74.jpg - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-chapter74.jpg - note: Charcoal drawing. Chapter 74. A woman prisoner (Katyusha) stands at a heavy cell door; a stout warden in peaked cap and decorated uniform holds a ring of keys. The scene captures the dehumanising lock-and-key machinery of prison life. Part I–II. --- ## 20 - id: pasternak-res-020 - type: illustration - subject: Political prisoners at a way-station by lamplight — group gathered around a table - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; political prisoners; Katyusha Maslova - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:Resurrection_Political.jpg - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Resurrection_Political.jpg - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-political.jpg - note: Charcoal drawing, 1911. Russian description on Commons: «Политические на полу-этапе» (political prisoners at a half-étape way-station). Five or six figures huddle around a lantern; dark interior. This is the world of the political deportees Katyusha comes to know in Part III — Simonson, Rantseva, Bogodukhovskaya. A 1911 date suggests it may be a later revised plate for a post-serialisation edition. --- ## 21 - id: pasternak-res-021 - type: illustration - subject: Katyusha escorted by two soldiers — frontispiece, Book I Chapter 1 - relatedEntity: Leonid Pasternak; Katyusha Maslova; soldiers - holding: Wikimedia Commons - archiveId: File:The_Complete_Works_of_Tolstoi_Volume_23_frontispiece.jpg - access: open - rights: public domain - licence: PD (pre-1931, US; PD life+70 RU) - usable: yes - url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Complete_Works_of_Tolstoi_Volume_23_frontispiece.jpg - localPath: visuals/commons-pasternak-frontispiece-vol23.jpg - note: Charcoal drawing, signed «Пастернак 1899». Caption printed below: "THE SOLDIER PUT THE PAPER INTO THE SLEEVE OF HIS COAT. Book I. Chapter 1. Frontispiece." Katyusha stands between two soldiers with rifles; a soldier tucks a document into his sleeve. Frontispiece for Volumes 23–24 of The Complete Works of Tolstoi (Thomas Y. Crowell & Co., 1899). This is the authoritative English-edition frontispiece; the 1899 date confirms it as an original serialisation-era plate. --- ## Search record Searches performed 2026-06-08: - Commons API category: `Category:Resurrection_by_Leonid_Pasternak` → 20 files - Commons API full-text: `Pasternak Resurrection Tolstoy` (ns=6) → confirmed same set + frontispiece - Commons API full-text: `Pasternak Voskresenie Tolstoy` → empty - Commons API full-text: `Awakening Chapter Pasternak Tolstoy` → confirmed Chapter35/57/74 - Commons category browse: `Category:Works_by_Leonid_Pasternak` → 5 subcategories; no additional Resurrection subcategory - Direct file-page checks for File:Tolsoy-Res-Awake_002, _003, _011; File:Resurrection_Political.jpg; File:The_Complete_Works_of_Tolstoi_Volume_23_frontispiece.jpg Total distinct files on Commons confirmed: 21.
