About the work
In the museum's own words — in Russian
Батилиман — урочище на побережье Ласпинской бухты в Балаклавском районе Севастополя. Расположено в 4 км к юго-западу от села Тыловое, в крайней западной части Южного берега Крыма. К западу от урочища находится мыс Айя. Билибин приобрел здесь участок земли с домиком еще в 1910 году, каждое лето проводил в Крыму. С. сентября 1917 по декабрь 1919 жил здесь безвыездно.
