Villa Bashkirtseff in Nice
From 1871 to 1877, the Bashkirtseff family villa in Nice served as a setting for Marie’s early ambitions. Here, surrounded by the social life she adored, Marie immersed herself in private studies, driven by her vision of fame. Today, Nice commemorates her with a dedicated street and a permanent display of her work in the Musée des Beaux-Arts.
In the Studio, 1881
Marie Bashkirtseff’s In the Studio (1881) depicts the women-only studio at the Académie Julian, the only Parisian institution at the time offering professional art education for women. Bashkirtseff gained quick admission due to her talent. The painting is preserved at the Dnipro Museum of Fine Arts.

The Meeting was the first painting by a woman accepted into the Louvre, shortly after her death, marking a historic achievement. Today, it resides in

In 1876, after years in Europe, 17-year-old Marie Bashkirtseff joyfully reconnected with her roots in Ukraine. Visiting Havrontsi, Chernyakivtsi, and Prince Kochubey’s estate, she wore a traditional Ukrainian costume. This moment was captured by renowned Poltava photographer Józef Chmielewski.
