Lot Essay

Alexander Mironov (b. 1826), a painter-decorator at the Imperial Porcelain Factory, came from a family of factory workmen. In 1854, he became a master of historical painting and was regarded as one of the best painters of figures working in the latter half of the nineteenth century. In 1891, Mironov was appointed a curator of the Imperial Porcelain Factory museum and library.
