Marie Bashkirtseff wearing Ukrainian traditional outfit
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.
