Zinaida Yevgenyevna Serebriakova (née Lanceray) (December 10, 1884 – September 19, 1967) was among the first female Russian painters of distinction. In the autumn of 1924, Serebriakova went to Paris, having received a commission for a large decorative mural. On finishing this work, she intended to return to the Soviet Union, where her mother and the four children remained. However, she was not able to return, and although she was able to bring her younger children, Alexandre and Catherine, to Paris in 1926 and 1928 respectively, she could not do the same for her two older children, Evgenyi and Tatiana, and did not see them again for many years. She died in Paris on September 19, 1967, at the age of 82.
