Elena Zhukova
NEW ACQUISITIONS E. Zhukova №4 2004 (05) This year the Tretyakov Gallery can boast of a new addition to its Vrubel collection, which is known as one of the most representative in the world. The new acquisition is "Portrait of Nastya Vrubel" – Nastya being the shortened, affectionate name for Anastasia, who was the painter’s half-sister. It had been a family treasure trad-itionally passed on from mother to daughter, and was acquired by the Gallery from Anastasia’s granddaughter; the work is printed here for the first time. |
