The Great-Great-Grandmothers of Siberian Cossacks Arrival of a Party of "Wives", 19th century. One of 21 watercolors (out of an original 27) from an album relating to the history of the Siberian Cossacks held by the Rare Books Department of the Russian State Library in Moscow. The album was created as a gift for the future Tsar Nicholas II (1868-1918, reigned 1895-1917), Most August Ataman of All Cossack Voiskos (Commander of all Cossack troops, a title bestowed by Nicholas I), and presented to him in the summer of 1891 on his return to Saint Petersburg through Siberia from a trip to the Russian Far East. The theme of the album is Cossack history east of the Ural Mountains, beginning with the victory of the Cossack hetman (or ataman) Ermak Timofeevich (died 1585) over Khan Kuchum in 1582 and continuing with subjects from more than three centuries of Russian history

EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor painting, titled "The Great-Great-Grandmothers of Siberian Cossacks Arrival of a Party of Wives, 19th century," is a breathtaking work by Russian artist Nikolay Nikolaevich Karazin. The painting is one of 21 watercolors from an album that chronicles the rich history of the Siberian Cossacks, presented as a gift to Tsar Nicholas II in 1891 during his journey back to Saint Petersburg from a trip to the Russian Far East. The album, which is held by the Rare Books Department of the Russian State Library in Moscow, focuses on Cossack history east of the Ural Mountains, beginning with the pivotal victory of Cossack hetman Ermak Timofeevich over Khan Kuchum in 1582 and continuing through more than three centuries of Russian history. In this painting, we witness a poignant moment in time as a party of Cossack wives make their arrival. The elderly women, dressed in traditional garb, are depicted with a sense of determination and resilience, reflecting the strength and endurance of the Siberian Cossack community. Their expressions convey a deep connection to their heritage and the challenging yet rewarding life they have led in the vast expanses of Siberia. Karazin's masterful use of color and detail brings the scene to life, transporting us back to a time when the Siberian Cossacks played a crucial role in the expansion and development of the Russian Empire. This painting is not only a testament to the rich history of the Siberian Cossacks but also a beautiful work of art that continues to captivate and inspire.
