The Duel between Onegin and Lensky (1901) by Ilya Repin
A movie was made of the original story
(written by the author Russian author Alexander Pushkin):
The story Eugene Onegin tells of Larina, a widow, who lives in the country with her two daughters Olga and Tatiana. Olga is more cheerful and outgoing than her younger sister, who spends her time reading romantic novels. Olga is engaged to a young landowner named Lensky. One day Lensky brings a friend from the city to visit Larina and her daughters. His name is Eugene Onegin, a man who is cynical, unemotional and bored by life. Tatiana doesn't realize this and falls passionately in love with him almost the moment she sees him. She writes a letter to tell him but Eugene does not reciprocate and tells her not to be so ridiculous. Tatiana is heartbroken. (http://busraakgonul.blogspot.com/2010/03/story-of-eugene-onegin.html)
