EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of V. I. Arsenyeva" captures the essence of a young woman in the mid-1790s, brought to life by the skilled hand of Vladimir Borovikovsky. Ekaterina Nikolaevna Arsenyeva, born around 1778, was a pupil at the prestigious Smolny Finishing School and hailed from an esteemed family with her father serving as Major General Nikolai Arsenyev. As we gaze upon this painting, we witness Ekaterina adorned in elegant attire befitting her status as lady-in-waiting to Empress Marie Fyodorovna. Her bonnet delicately frames her youthful face while she holds a basket filled with ripe red apples symbolizing fertility and abundance. Borovikovsky's mastery is evident through his use of color and texture that brings depth to every stroke on canvas. The soft hues create a sense of serenity while capturing Ekaterina's grace and poise. This artwork now resides within the collection of The State Russian Museum in St Petersburg, Russia – a testament to its historical significance and artistic brilliance. Borovikovsky himself was summoned to Saint Petersburg by Empress Catherine the Great due to her admiration for his talent. Through this portrait print, we are transported back in time to witness not only Ekaterina's beauty but also glimpse into the refined society of 18th-century Russia. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend centuries and connect us with our past.
