Portrait of an unknown woman with a child and a dog. The portrait was received by the museum in 1964 from the ministry of culture. In the corner of the painting, half of the coat of arms of the counts kalinovsky is visible. It is known that the artist kozroe duzi, during his stay in st. Petersburg, painted portraits of the three daughters of mrs. Emilia tchelitchew from her first husband, count kalinovsky: severina, josephine and olga. At the time of painting the portraits, only the eldest was married. In the artist's diary from june 27, 1840, we read: "countess kalinovskaya commissioned me to paint a portrait of the eldest of her sisters, who is married to general plautin and lives in tsarskoye selo. " july 12, 1840: "i went to tsarskoye selo, where countess kalinovskaya-plautina posed for me for the first time and paid 3,500 rubles for two portraits of her sisters olga and josephine. " august 6, 1840: "starting from july 25, i went to tsarskoye selo every day to paint a portrait of countess plautina. " from this, we can assume that the portrait depicts severina iosifovna plautina, née countess kalinovskaya (1814-06/08/1852), educated at the catherine institute in st. Petersburg, which she graduated from in 1832 with a small gold cipher, the wife of general nikolai fyodorovich plautin. Depicted with her son sergei (1837-1926). Date: 1840.
