[“In 1890s Valentin Serov revealed his talent as a portraitist. The main feature of his oeuvre was
truthful psychological treatment of his models. Having mastered all the modern painterly media, he
and his close associate painter Konstantin Korovin, strove to achieve virtuosity of each brush-stroke.
All this enabled him to achieve peculiar spirituality of image, particularly felt in his portraits of
children and young people. In the portrait of a sitting young girl the artist, presumably, depicted
Alexandra Sergeyevna Botkina, daughter of a famous St. Petersburg doctor and collector Sergei
Botkin. Serov was on friendly terms with the Botkins and painted and draw the members of the
family many times. It is a well known fact that the painter made sketches very quickly, but he was
very scrupulous when painting portraits, they took him much time. The delicate harmony of soft
colors combined with the expressive rendering of the young woman’s glance lend the portrait an
especially lyrical mood.”] Provenance: Phillips Bayswater, 02.10.01, lot 75. Initial study for this
portrait is in State Russian Museum, Petersburg - see illustration in "Serov" by D. Sarabianov, Art-
