Elizaveta Ivanovna Tal, Mikhail Nesterov, 1936

The original portrait of my aunt elizaveta ivanovna tal by mikhail vasilyevich nesterov has not been seen for over 50 years. Although it has been in the russian museum in st. Petersburg since 1939, it is hidden deep in the storerooms and has not been presented at any of m. V. Nesterov's exhibitions, not even at the anniversary one - for the 100th anniversary of the artist's birth (1962). A long time ago, in the 1950s, i saw it in the museum's exhibition. I was surprised then by the strange caption: "portrait of a soviet girl. " mikhail vasilyevich called this portrait "liza tal" - this is how he addressed the friend of his youngest daughter natalya. The history of the portrait should begin in 1921, when two new girls - liza tal and natasha nesterova - sat at the same desk in the graduating class of the former alferovskaya gymnasium. Http://www.
