* Valentin Serov (Russian: Валентин Александрович Серов; 1865 - 1911) was a Russian painter, and one of the premier portrait artists of his era. "The greatest works of Serov's early period were portraits: "The Girl with Peaches" (1887), and "The Girl Covered by the Sun" (1888), both in the Tretyakov Gallery. In these paintings Serov concentrated on spontaneity of perception of the model and nature. In the development of light and color, the complex harmony of reflections, the sense of atmospheric saturation, and the fresh picturesque perception of the world, there appeared the features of early Russian impressionism." -- Wikipedia.
