George Kennan's life unfolds through a series of intriguing portraits, each capturing a different chapter in his extraordinary journey. From his exile in Siberia, dressed in traditional garb (1886-1890), to his youthful half-length portraits (1865, 1870-1886), the mystery surrounding this unidentified man deepens. Ivan Cherniavski, Makofski, and K Mikhailov join the scene, adding layers to the narrative. A family portrait (1885) reveals a connection, while Kennan himself captures a seated, three-quarter length image (between 1870 and 1886). In the classroom (1889), Kennan is seen teaching, while his collection of West Siberian Animals and Plants (1889) showcases his scientific curiosity. These captivating images invite us to explore the enigma of George Kennan further.
