Portrait of unknown woman

The portrait of the model was painted during the years of Vasily Yakovlev's marriage to the daughter of his teacher V.N. Meshkova, Ekaterina, so there is a possibility that the portrait depicts her. To date, it has not been possible to verify this version, as there are no available photographs of E.V. Meshkova.
