EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting beauty of a Boyar's Wife in the 1890s, as captured by the talented artist Konstantin Yegorovich Makovsky. From a private collection, this painting transports us back to traditional Russia and its rich folklore. The Boyar's Wife is depicted wearing an exquisite traditional costume that epitomizes the grandeur and elegance of Russian culture. The fine art image portrays her donning a kokoshnik, a headdress adorned with intricate patterns and jewels, which symbolizes her noble status. Her sarafan, a long flowing dress with vibrant colors and delicate embroidery, further accentuates her regal appearance. This artwork offers us a glimpse into the history of Russia during the Muscovy era when Moscow was still known as the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Makovsky's masterful use of oil on canvas brings out every detail in this genre painting while evoking nostalgia for ancient Russia. The composition reflects academic art techniques prevalent during that time period. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of Domostroy times when boyars held significant influence within society. The title "Boyars Wife" encompasses various terms such as knyazhna or boyarynya that were used to address these noble women in Old Russia. This print from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only Makovsky's artistic prowess but also serves as a window into Russian history and cultural heritage.
