    The young girl in the offered lot would appear to be of the 'Omsk' type, so-called because the portrait bears resemblance to a young beauty painted by Harlamoff in the M.A. Vroubel Musuem of Fine Arts, Omsk (Inv. Zh.R-355). The impressionistic brush strokes of the background complement the lightness with which the hair and clothing of the sitter are rendered.
