The gaze of Nicholas Miklouho-Maclay (1846-1888) captures our attention next. This portrait from 1876-1877 reveals his pioneering spirit as an explorer who ventured into uncharted territories with unwavering curiosity. Elizaveta Vasilyevna Salias De Tournemire (1815-1892), nee Sukhovo-Kobylina's portrait exudes gracefulness; it serves as a testament to her refined taste and sophistication. Alexander Mikhaylovich Sukhotin's image from 1899 portrays him as a man of wisdom and experience - his eyes reflecting years filled with knowledge gained through various endeavors.
