Summary/Abstract: This paper describes style peculiarities distinguishing M.M. Kheraskov’s portrayal of women, which is so characteristic of his artistic descriptions. Based on the specificities and functions of literary portrayal in modern philology, features uniting verbal representations with visual images, in particular with the pictorial allegories typical for the cultural epoch of the 18th century and their “clichés”, are revealed. Another feature of М.М. Kheraskov’s style, which appears in his prosaic portrayals, consists, as a rule, in the unique functioning of every, especially detailed, description of women.
