Difficult puzzle, not sure what it's supposed to be.

Never mind, just saw the thumbnail and I see it now :) nice pic!
This is a character from Mikhail Lermontov's novel A Hero of Our Time written in 1840. If you are in the mood for a laugh at human nature, go to https://www.ibiblio.org/eldritch/myl/hero.htm and read at least some of Part I Bela. Keep in mind the author's intentions as stated in his introduction to a later edition:
"This book recently had the misfortune of being taken literally... Some were seriously shocked at being given a man as amoral as the Hero of Our Time for a model..."
---
This excerpt, for example, is irony:
"'When I first saw [this character],' Azamat went on, ‘something strange happened in my soul, and I lost interest in everything. I'll die, Kazbich, if you will not sell him to me. I could steal my sister for you if you want. The Turkish Padishah himself never had a wife like her. Isn't Bela worth [this character]?’”

I'm so thankful to have found nonograms.org. I love spending time here. I especially love coming across puzzles that Sheryl Hill has solved and commented on.
