P.S.Makovsky frequently painted the women he was close to. He was happily married three times. Makovsky lived with his first wife, Elena Timofeevna for no more than seven years; she died at a young age from consumption in 1873. In 1875 Makovsky married Iulia Pavlovna Letkova, fêted as the most beautiful woman in St Petersburg. Several portraits of Iulia Pavlovna are known: two of which (the most famous of the group) are located in the State Russian Museum in St Petersburg; the first depicts her in a red dress (1881); the second with her children Elena and Sergei (1882). Iulia Pavlovna's 'facial type' was also employed by the artist to depict beautiful boyarinas in his history paintings of the 1880s as well as for mythological and allegorical characters in easel paintings and monumental works. The physical similarity between his second wife, Iulia Pavlovna and his third, Maria Alekseevna, is famous. They were both outstanding beauties with well-proportioned facial features. Iulia, however, was brown-eyed, while Maria had grey-blue eyes. It is also doubtless that Makovsky gave to almost all of the women he portrayed traits of an ideal female type which he had refined.
