Life and work


Pelageia Vokhina was born in 1848 in Saint Petersburg in an old nobility family.[1] Her father, Piotr Vokhin, was a general in the Russian army.[3][6] She was educated under the guidance of a popular artist Lev Lagorio.[2] She exhibited for the first time at the age of 28 and it was a success.[1]

Vokhina married a Swiss doctor Alfred Couriard, who worked in Mariinski hospital in Saint Petersburg and took his family name.[5] Several years preceding her husband’s death Couriard was living in Geneve.[2] She exhibited her landscapes at the Imperial Academy of Arts, where she received 2 silver medals, and in 1882 was recognized as an honorary member of the Imperial Academy of Arts.[3]

In 1882 Couriard returned to Saint Petersburg.[1] The same year she founded the First Ladies Art Circle aimed to facilitate women’s access to the courses provided by the Academy of Fine Arts.[7] She chaired the First Ladies Art Circle for more than ten years. In 1892 on the occasion of tenth anniversary of the First Ladies Art Circle Couriard received a series of drawings as a gift from the members of the Circle.[8] Geneve museum bequested these drawings in 1899.[9] The drawings donated by Pauline Couriard were featured in the exhibition Russian painters and travelers of 19th century at the Museum of Art and History in Geneva in 2008-2009.[2]

Pauline Couriard died in 1898 in Saint Petersburg.[3]
