Nikolai Yegorovich Sverchkov (Russian: Николай Егорович Сверчков, 1817, Saint Petersburg—1898, Tsarskoye Selo) was a Russian painter and engraver. The first exhibition of his work was in 1844. Sverchkov's Return from the bear hunt, exhibited in 1863, was bought by Napoleon III. For this and two other paintings (The Fair and The Station) Sverchkov was awarded the Order of the Legion of Honor. In 1864, after returning to Petersburg from abroad, Sverchkov painted Tsar Aleksey Mikhailovich Attends a Military Parade in 1664, for Alexander II.
