Asceticism, ease of interior, the absence of “cute gizmos” inherent in any private house, suggests that a library of any state institution or educational institution is depicted. Before admission to the timing, the picture belonged to a well -known artistic critic, the historian of art n. N. Wrangel (1880–1915). He, like his father n. E. Wrangel, was a passionate expert and passionate collector. The apartment of the lungeles on the pool in St. Petersburg was “stuffed with beautiful things”. Then the picture was in the meeting of the prince in. N. Argutinsky-Dolgorukov (1874–1941), who collected paintings by Russian artists of the first half of the 19th century, Western European masters, architectural graphics of the XVIII-the first half of the 19th century with the views of St. Petersburg and its environs, as well as rare samples of porcelain.
