Boris Mikhailovich Kustodiev (1878 - 1927) was a Russian painter and stage designer. He studied in Astrakhan and later at The Saint Petersburg Imperial Academy of Fine Arts under Ilya Repin (1896 - 1903). He participated in the creation of The State Council Session (1901 - 1903, the State Russian Museum, Saint Petersburg). As one of Repin’s favourite pupils and the remarkable portrait painter, Kustodiev was invited by his teacher to work on a large ceremonial painting of members of the State Council. However, the artist expressed himself to the fullest in genre paintings on the subject of the Russian provincial way of life and the life of merchants.

During the first Russian revolution of 1905 - 1907 Kustodiev cartooned for “Zhupel” and “Adskaya pochta” magazines. In 1908, he began to work in the field of portrait sculpture. Since 1911, he was the member of artists' associations such as the World of Art and the Russian Artists' Union (1907 - 1910). Living in Saint Petersburg and Moscow, the artist frequently travelled to upper Volga cities and villages where he painted scenes from traditional country life and colourful folk characters such as the 'tradeswomen', 'tradesmen' and the bathing beauties known as 'Russian Venuses'. A brilliant graphic artist, Kustodiev also created poignant caricatures and theatrical art. In 1916, an illness confined him to a wheelchair, but he kept on working in his usual cheerful manner.
