Elena Mrozovskaya

[1][2] Mrozovskaya's ex-husband,[3] Bronislav (after accepting orthodoxy in 1904 - Vladimir) Pavlovich Mrozovsky, was a mechanical engineer and painter, and his uncle (possible),[4] Iosif Ivanovich Mrozovsky [ru], became the military governor-general of Moscow from 1915 to 1917.

[6] Mrozovskaya's subjects included Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov,[2] Mathilde Kschessinska,[5] Vera Komissarzhevskaya, and other artists, writers, and actors of the time.

[2] She won a bronze medal at the General Art and Industrial Exposition of Stockholm (1897) and a silver medal at the Exposition Universelle (1900) in Paris, and participated as well in the Liège International (1905).

[1][2] One of her photos, a hand-tinted image of Princess Olga Orlova wearing a kokoshnik at the 1903 Ball in the Winter Palace, is in the collection of the Hermitage Museum[7] and was sent to the Hermitage Rooms of Somerset House in London in 2003, as part of a traveling exhibit celebrating St. Petersburg's tricentennial.

[8][9] Another of her tinted photos, "Portrait of girl in Little Russia costume", is in the collection of the Moscow House of Photography, and was exhibited in Amsterdam in early 2013 as part of an exhibit organized by the Russian Ministry of Culture.
