Krohn' lower right, antiqued gilt hollow frame, probably original, 25 x 19½in.

After meeting in Paris, they married in 1907 and moved to Kiev, where they became close friends with Alexandra Exter. They both exhibited with the Knave of Diamonds society in Moscow in 1916, and Xan had by this time established himself as a successful portrait painter. After the Russian Revolution the couple moved to Oslo, where they stayed for the remainder of their lives.
