· Serov Valentin. Portrait of Margarita Morozova (1910, Dnepropetrovsk, Art Museum)

Margarita Kirillovna Morozova (1873-1958) was a daughter of Kirill Nikolayevich Mamontov and widow of Mikhail Abramovich Morozov, a famous Maecenas, the owner of the publishing house Put’ [‘The Way’] that specialized in philosophical literature, co-founder of the Moscow Religious-Philosophical Society named after Vladimir Solovyov (the society usually met in Morozova’s mansions in 11 Znamenka, 103 Novinsky Boulevard, 9 Myortvyy [presently, Prechistenskiy] Pereulok).

I was always somewhat afraid of Serov and embarrassed despite my great respect and liking for him. I did not even want him to paint my portrait because I knew he felt little sympathy for ‘ladies’ like me. Only towards the very end of his life we once talked and decided he would after all paint my portrait. He began painting, made several canvasses in an impressionist manner of dots and strokes, saying he wanted me pictured walking, talking and smiling. Unfortunately, that was the end of it, because Serov suddenly died (M. K. Morozova. My Memoirs, in Moscow Album: Memoirs of the 19th- and 20th-century Moscow and Muscovites, Moscow: Nashe nasledie, 1997, p. 200, in Russian).

Margarita Morozova’s son Mika (Mikhail) is the sitter of Serov’s famous portrait (now in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow).
