The sculptural composition “Nekrasov Hunting” was made by Pyotr Moiseyevich Krivorutsky. At that time, in 1951, Pyotr Moiseyevich was a student of the Leningrad Academy of Arts.

The first version of the work was given by the sculptor to the Leningrad Museum-Apartment of Nikolay Nekrasov on Liteiny Prospekt. The artist made a copy for Karabikha. Later, in 1971, another version of this statue was created for the Nikolay Nekrasov Museum in Chudovskaya Luka in Novgorod region.

The exhibit includes two figures: Nikolay Nekrasov, who sits on a stump, and his favorite dog, a black pointer Kado. Nekrasov’s right hand is on his knee, with a hunting cap sticking out from under it. With his left hand, the poet supports the dog’s head. Kado sits between the legs of the poet. At his right foot is a hunting rifle with the barrel upwards. Nikolay Alexeyevich is dressed in a light coat and hunting boots. There is a scarf around his neck and a cartridge pouch on his belt. The base of the sculpture is a rectangular plinth.

Nikolay Alexeyevich loved hunting, a passion shared by his wife Zinaida Nikolaevna. Nekrasov hunted not only in Yaroslavl land, but also traveled to neighboring Kostroma and Vladimir governorates. In Novgorod governorate, the Chudovskaya Luka estate became his hunting retreat.

Once, while hunting, Zinaida Nikolaevna accidentally killed her husband’s dog Kado. She recalled,

We would go hunting most often to Chudovskaya Luka. We got on horses. And local peasants followed us with a pack of dogs and rifles. Only Nikolay Alexeyevich kept his favorite dog Kado with him. We approached the first lake. I jumped off the horse, took my rifle and cartridges and hurried to the coastal shrubs. When the branches swayed a little, I raised the gun and pulled the trigger. And then I saw that the shot hit not a duck, but Kado, who was running through the shrubs.

The poet grieved over the body of his favorite dog, buried it and left Chudovskaya Luka for a long time. Soon in the garden, not far from the house in Chudov, there was a plaque with the inscription,

Kado, a black pointer, excellent at hunting, an irreplaceable friend at home. Born June 15, 1862, killed accidentally in a hunt on May 2, 1875.
