EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Elena Ivanovna Nabokova, 1910" is a stunning example of Art Nouveau graphic art. The print, found in the esteemed collection of the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, transports viewers back to the early 20th century with its exquisite detail and vibrant colors. The artist behind this masterpiece is Léon Bakst (1866-1924), renowned for his contributions to Russian avant-garde art and stage design. In this particular work, Bakst skillfully employs colour pencils and gouache on paper to bring Elena Ivanovna Nabokova's likeness to life. Elena Ivanovna Nabokova herself remains somewhat enigmatic, but her presence in this portrait exudes elegance and grace. Every line and stroke captures her essence with remarkable precision. It is no wonder that this piece has become an iconic representation of both fine art and Russian culture. Interestingly enough, Elena Ivanovna Nabokova shares a surname with the famous writer Vladimir Nabokov. While it remains unclear if there is any familial connection between them, their shared name adds another layer of intrigue to this already captivating artwork. As we admire this print today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance as a testament to the talent and creativity that thrived during Russia's artistic renaissance at the turn of the century.
