Marie Bashkirtseff wearing Ukrainian traditional outfit

In 1876, after years in Europe, 17-year-old Marie Bashkirtseff joyfully reconnected with her roots in Ukraine. Visiting Havrontsi, Chernyakivtsi, and Prince Kochubey’s estate, she wore a traditional Ukrainian costume. This moment was captured by renowned Poltava photographer Józef Chmielewski.

Villa Bashkirtseff in NiceFrom 1871 to 1877, the Bashkirtseff family villa in Nice served as a setting for Marie’s early ambitions. Here, surrounded by the social life she adored, Marie immersed herself in private studies, driven by her vision of fame.
