More information
This lovely portrait of a young woman, dressed in bohemian style, relaxing in a chair with her Italian Greyhound in her lap, was executed in Russia during the turbulent time just before the revolution. The sitter is Maya Degutniks, who was born in St. Petersburg in 1896 and who left Russia around 1916-17 to settle in Sweden. The artist has not been identified, but it is a work of great quality painted either by a member of the art movement Mir Iskusstva (World of Art) in St. Petersburg, or one closely associated with the movement.
