And "Voronezh JohnDoe" believe portrait "Mary", written by Elena Kiseleva A. in 1913 in Paris, where the artist visited after graduating from the Higher art school at Academy of arts.
Who is depicted in the portrait — is not known. There is a version that the sister of an unknown Russian artist. But this is not the main mystery of "Marusya". Viewers in the portrait attracts the mystery of the image a mysterious look. By the way, and the fate of the Schoolgirls Repin this work played the most that neither is a mystical role.
Elena A. Kiselev (Bilimovich, Parivartana-Черная) permanently emigrated to Serbia in 1920 and almost 40 years has disappeared from view of the Soviet art critics. In 1929, her mother gave "Marusya" in the Voronezh regional Museum named after Kramskoy. But the topic was not at the time — is too bourgeois for implanted socialim. Picture of the hid employees of the Museum (the channel "Culture" says that just put a face to the wall at black staircase). More than 30 years passed until the moment when this portrait saw senior researcher of the Museum Margarita Luneva. And began the search for a mysterious, forgotten in the USSR artist. Fortunately, the archives was a letter Kiseleva to Repin with a return address in Belgrade, and it became clear where to look. Lunyova was able to establish the correspondence with Elena Kiseleva in 1967, 7 years before the death of the artist. And it so happened that in 1969, Kiselyov gave the Museum his hometown of Voronezh 30 of his works. The state accepted the gift and then staged several exhibitions of "Russian Serbian". And now about her not forget.
Not so long ago a similar exhibition Kiseleva showed the private Museum of Russian impressionism. In Moscow it was called "Elegant age". For Voronezh the name changed, but the same — works Kiseleva, written in 1908-1927.
