Klavdy Lebedev (1852-1916) did this oil study from a costumed model as a preparation for a larger painting.
I'm just guessing, but he probably did study on an oil-primed surface, and that he must have done a preliminary pencil drawing and laid in the tones fairly thinly.

T
he Destruction of Novgorod was "an act of vengeance against the perceived treason of the local Orthodox church, the massacre quickly became possibly the most vicious in the brutal legacy of the
oprichnina, with casualties in the tens of thousands and innumerable acts of extreme violent cruelty."
