Exh: Memorial Exhibition of Paintings and Drawings by Leonid Pasternak 1862-1945, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, April-May 1958 (36) as 'The Artist's Wife and Daughter', wrongly dated c.1920; Leonid Pasternak: The Russian Scene, Pushkin House, London, October-November 1958 (30)
The artist's daughter Mrs Lydia Pasternak Slater wrote (May 1960) that this drawing represents her mother and sister Josephine and was almost certainly made in Moscow before 1918, probably about 1916. The artist married the concert pianist Rosalia Kauffmann (1867-1939) in 1889. Josephine married her cousin Frederick Pasternak.
