EDITORS COMMENTS
Mathilde Kschessinska, the renowned Russian prima ballerina, is captured in this intimate print alongside her beloved son, Volodya. Taken in 1910, it offers a glimpse into the personal life of this extraordinary artist. Born to Polish parents and known for her exceptional talent, Kschessinska's career soared as she graced stages across Europe. However, beyond her professional success lies an intriguing love story. In the early 1890s, she became the girlfriend of Tsar Nicholas II before his marriage to Princess Alix of Hesse. This connection adds a layer of fascination to Mathilde's life and legacy. In this image, Mathilde reclines on a bed with young Volodya by her side. The tender bond between mother and son is evident as they share a moment of relaxation together. A loyal companion—a dog—rests at their feet. The photograph captures not only Mathilde's role as a celebrated ballerina but also showcases another aspect of her identity: that of a devoted mother. It reminds us that even those who achieve greatness on stage are still grounded in the joys and responsibilities of family life. Preserved within a private collection, this portrait allows us to delve deeper into the multifaceted world inhabited by Mathilde Kschessinska—a woman whose artistry continues to inspire generations.
