Mrs. M. Shibaeva or Shebaeff
1910 · St. Petersburg, Russia
Mrs. M. Shibaeva or Shebaeff is a 1910 painting by the Russian artist Victor Stember.
The family has an oversized photo of this lovely painting. No information is known of the lady. However, there is a reference to a Stember painting of Princess Sherbatov, a neighbor and friend of her Grandmothers, at the Litvinov Estate at Lubanovo in Nadja Stembers Memoirs (page 46) but it is not confirmed that this is the same woman. Often the spelling in translating from Russian to English makes it difficult to conclude decisively the correct spelling of the name.
Stember's signature is in the lower left corner.
