Marusya

The portrait "Marusya" was painted in 1913 by the talented Russian artist Elena Andreevna Kiseleva (1878 - 1974), who had lived for more than half a century away from her homeland, where she was thrown by the wave of emigration in 1920.
The painted portrait attracts with the refined charm of the female image, bright elegance of colors, their subtle harmony, artistry.
The first decades of the twentieth century are still the only period in the history of Russian fine art, which has not received an unambiguous assessment. Meanwhile, the name of the artist of the Art Nouveau era Elena Kiseleva, a master of the European level, is among the glorious names that enriched the national culture of the early 20th century.
