Count Fyodor Petrovich Tolstoy (Russian: Фёдор Петрови& #1095; Толстой; 10 February 1783 ? 17 April 1873) was a Russian artist who served as Vice-President of the Imperial Academy of Arts for forty years (1828-1868). His works ? wax-reliefs, watercolours, medallions, silhouettes - are distinguished by cool detachment and a spare and economical classicism.
Fyodor Tolstoy came from the Tolstoy family. His father Count Pyotr Tolstoy governed a ministry of war supplies. Tolstoy early began to paint under the direction of his mother, Elizabeth Barbot-de-Marni. His first drawings, which are now stored in the Tretyakov Gallery, were made when he was 4 years old. At the age of nine he went to the foster care of his rich and influential uncle, Count Pyotr Aleksandrovich Tolstoy.

In his colored wax medallion People's militia of 1812 (1816), Tolstoy owes a debt to David's "Oath of the Horatii" and to the ceramics of Josiah Wedgwood.
