Portrait of A. I. Bezborodko with his daughters by Vladimir Borovikovsky

In the family portrait of the Countess Bezborodko with her daughters, all three posing before us, expressing their love for each other, as well as their common love for their son and brother, which unites them so much that even the chain from the miniature from the hands of the eldest daughter through the mother’s chest stretches to hands younger. But they, you must admit, do not really believe.

It seems that only in the Russian museum night comes, they get up, indifferent, and go about their business “Lyubasha and frivolous, lively and self-willed Cleopatra.” Three figures connected with family ties and a common loss, serve here one idea – a plastic image of memory, expressed in tongue lapidary, restrained, like a funeral crying in an archaic stele.
