Repine = Repin, as in Ilya Repin? That drawing almost seems a bit reminscent of his famed painting depicting burlaks.
I checked the credit for the drawing again and it definitely says Repine, but it probably does mean Repin who I must admit I've never heard of, so thanks for the pointer to his work.
