A quarrel with Repin over the Dragomirova portrait
Serov painted a portrait of the eighteen-year-old Sofya Dragomirova in Repin’s studio alongside his teacher and left for Moscow before finishing it; Repin, handing the work over to the sitter, added a few strokes to the costume and accessories. Serov was so incensed by the interference that he sent his former teacher a sharp letter that for a time clouded their relations.
