Portrait of Anna Grigorievna Ermolova with Her Children, Pyotr Zakharov-Chechenets, 1840

Portrait of anna grigorievna ermolova with her children, signed "zakharov. Da=/dayurtskii. -" and dated "18 iv/x 40". 350,000–500,000 gbp portraits of members of the family of general petr ermolov occupy a special place in the oeuvre of the remarkable 19th century artist petr zakharov. His work has long been dispersed among the major museum collections – the hermitage, the russian museum, the tretyakov gallery, the tropinin museum and others – but is ex- tremely rarely encountered in private collections. Accordingly, the appearance on the market of this portrait of anna grigorievna ermolova, which comes from the famous moscow collector yan moiseevich shapiro, may be regarded as a unique phenomenon.
