What a sad life she had after the revolution. Her paintings are wonderful (I'd never heard of her so thank you). Regarding Millais - young Millais strikes me as the arrogant one -"what do you want? I'm the famous boy wonder painter". Old Millais looks sad and thoughtful, as though to say that now he's got fame, fortune etc it's all worthless really. 1883 would be a year after the death (suicide?) of Sophia...

Thank you so much Kirsty for introducing me to the surprisingly modern work of the very beautiful Zinaida Serebrjakova, (think I have fallen in love), don't tell Mrs. Woods though!

However, in his later portrait, if you imagine long hair and get rid of the beard - not so far removed from the dashing youth...(OK, maybe only in my head!)<br />Best wishes<br />Ellie<br />Ellie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.com
