Framed:

1/2 x 12 1/2 in. (39.4 x 31.8 cm.)<p>
Provenance: From the
private collection of Alexander Sklarevski.<p>

Alexander Fedorovich Sklarevski
(1882-1963) was a concert pianist who fled
Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution,
travelling East by train across Siberia to
Vladivostok. As a graduate in 1908, he
received the first of many gold medals from
the St. Petersburg Imperial Conservatory of
Music, and was later elected Director of the
Third Imperial Conservatory of Saratov. For
decades Sklarevski performed recitals around
the world to great acclaim. In 1923, he joined
the faculty of the Peabody Conservatory in
Baltimore where he remained a professor for
30 years.


Although unsigned, this
portrait is possibly by Ilya Efimovich Repin
(1844-1930), Russia?s premier painter of the
late 19th century. Repin was a pivotal figure of
Russian Realism and is best known for Barge
Haulers on the River Volga, an intense
depiction of human suffering which won him
lasting recognition in Russia and in Vienna
where it was exhibited in 1873. While still
largely unknown in the West, in Russia,
Repin?s art is placed alongside Tolstoy?s
novels as emblems of Russian 19th century
culture.
