A drawn study of Smerdyakov seated by a wooden door, turning his sharp, wary face over the shoulder of a heavy olive coat.
Pavel SmerdyakovAI-generated study after Boris Grigoriev’s illustration.

Of the House of Karamazov

Pavel Smerdyakov

The household’s cook, epileptic and contemptuous. Born to Lizaveta in the garden; the town assumes Fyodor is the father. He listened to Ivan more carefully than Ivan did.

The household’s cook, raised by Grigory and trained in Moscow. Silent, fastidious about his clothes, contemptuous — and subject to fits.
