What is interesting, the model for Holy Virgin was Emilia Prakhova, the young wife of Hadrian Prahkov, PhD, professor of Fine Arts and Vrubel's patron in reconstruction of St. Cyrill's in Kiev. And of course, both young people fell in love with each other... It's an intriguing and sad story, and I will probably tell it a little bit later.
