Pawel Petrovič Sokolov ( Russian Павел Петрович Соколов , scientific transliteration Pavel Petrovič Sokolov ; * 1826 in Saint Petersburg , † 1905 ) was a Russian watercolorist and illustrator . His brothers Pyotr and Alexander were also famous artists.

Pawel, son of the portrait painter Pyotr Fedorowitsch Sokolow (1787–1848) and his wife Julija Pawlowna (1804–1877), studied with Karl Brüllow at the Petersburg Art Academy and graduated with the title of freelance artist - that means he worked from now on without state aid . In 1864 he was awarded the title of Academic by the Art Academy for his painting The Holy Family .

Pawel Sokolow specialized in watercolor painting. Paying customers of his watercolors were, for example, Alexander II and the Baltic German counts Stenbock-Fermor . On top of that, Pawel Sokolow rose to become one of the leading illustrators of the Saint Petersburg magazine Illustrierte Welt .

Like his father, Pavel Sokolov admired Pushkin . The illustrations for Eugene Onegin and the captain's daughter - executed as pencil drawings between 1855 and 1860, two decades after the poet's death - are among the masterpieces in this sector of book illustration.
