Repin i. E. Portrait of m. K. Tenisheva 1896:
“and each of my new portraits was invariably accompanied by troubles, but again and again i posed at the request of repin, tirelessly arguing with him because of the pose and godless bad taste in choosing the chair on which i should lean or sit. Still, i could not avoid the beech rocking chair - repin's ideal. Which i inevitably came across on one charcoal sketch. In addition to me, he also wrote the composer cui in the same ridiculous chair, duse and several other people, all on the same thonet or viennese rocking chairs. I don’t understand why they gave him so much?” tenisheva. Impressions of my life. Date: 1896.
