Another remarkable portrait, that of prince yusupov by valentin serov (estimated at £800,000-£1,500,000), entered the rostropovich-vishnevskaya collection. Of the nine family portraits painted by serov, felix yusupov took only this portrait of his father when he left petrograd in 1919. I was interested in the story of how the painting moved around the world. I recently met prince nikita lobanov-rostovsky. As far as i know, it was auctioned twice?
