Selected Works from Elizaveta Sergeyevna Kruglikova

Elizaveta Sergeyevna Kruglikova was born in the Russian Empire on January 31, 1865. She was a multi-disciplinary artist, forging great talent as a printmaker, painter, etcher, and more. Her life and work quietly challenged the gender and sexual norms of her era. While there is much we do not know about Kruglikova, historians and contemporaries give us an idea about her relationships and place in history. She never married.

Kruglikova was best known for her mastery of monotype — a medium she helped popularize in Russia — as well as her sensitive portraiture and atmospheric printmaking. Trained in Paris and connected to avant-garde artistic circles, she combined Russian influences with French modernist techniques, producing work that was both technically innovative and emotionally rich. Her monotypes, especially, revealed a rare ability to capture fleeting expressions, interiority, and mood with minimal line and dramatic contrasts. A gifted teacher and an important figure in the transmission of European printmaking techniques to Russian students, Kruglikova’s legacy stands not only in her artistic achievements but in her quiet, steadfast commitment to living and creating on her own terms.

You can find these works and more in our gallery!

I always thought the dress was a bit cheesy, even as a teenager (I adored the hair though) , and it's very neat to find out that was intentional and how much thought and expertise went into the nuances. They didn't know how much viewers would fixate on the film and that scene in particular, and that cosplayers would still be recreating it decades later. They just wanted to get it right like the professionals they were.
