The poet Anna Akhmatowa

Blue overglaze stamped LFZ mark. H 22.1 cm.
Lomonosov State Porcelain Factory, after 1936, the model by Natalya Danko 1924, the decor presumably Elena Danko.

The Russian poet Anna Akhmatowa (1889 - 1966) was portrayed by several contemporary artists. Her face alone conveyed the image of a modern and progressive but elegant woman. Her personal attribute was the shawl draped over one shoulder.
