The woman
depicted on this box is Natalia
Goncharova, wife of the great Russian
poet Alexander Pushkin. She was
known as the most beautiful woman in
Moscow. Eventually the allegations
of her romance with the Frenchman led to

and Pushkin led to a mortal wound

The main character, Tatyana of Pushkin's
Eugene Onegin was based on personality
of Mrs. Goncharova. |
