Ilyúshka is mentioned as a gypsy who danced at Count Orlóv’s, distinguished in that recollection by his white Cossack coat. Elsewhere, he is expected to arrive with a chorus, linking his name to the novel’s festive musical life. He remains a brief, lightly sketched figure rather than a character with a developed arc.
Description
Ilyúshka is identified as a gypsy performer and is described wearing a white Cossack coat. The text gives no details of his height, build, coloring, hair, eyes, or face. His association with dancing and chorus gives him a performance-centered presence, but no further visual traits are specified.
