A brilliant student of the city's free drawing school, he entered the Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg, in Repin's studio. Known for his historical and genre paintings, portraitist of Tsar Nicolas II, he became an academician in 1916. The events of 1918 forced him to go into exile in Paris in 1924. He mainly worked on commission as a portraitist, executed, among other things, portraits of Chaliapin and Lifar and continues to paint landscapes populated by bathers, imbued with nostalgia for his native land. Yet it was without seeing Russia again that he died in 1950 in Boulogne-Billancourt.
