An Artist of the Peredvizhniki
Emily Shanks was an English painter who was active in Moscow during the reigns of Alexander III and Nicholas II. Born in Moscow, she studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture around 1882 under instructors including Vasily Polenov, Vladimir Makovsky, and Illarion Pryanishnikov. In 1890, she was awarded a large silver medal by the school for her painting Reading a letter, graduating that year with the rank of artist.
