Hillwood Estate, Museum and Gardens. This monumental painting, created in St. Petersburg in 1883 by Konstantin Makovskii, was so popular with the public that it was exhibited in Moscow, Paris, and at the 1885 International Exposition in Antwerp before it landed in a New York City jewelry store. Eighty three years and many travels later, it was given to Hillwood. Learn about the continuation of its little known American journey, then continue chatting with Anne Odom, curator emeritus, over a cup of tea.
