- Description:
- Painting of Moscow with the Kremlin and the Moscow River. "Moscow is the industrial and commercial city, capital of the Russian Federation and of the Moscow region, and formerly (1922-91) of the USSR. Moscow lies on the Moskva River 640 km/400 mi southeast of St Petersburg, and covers an area of some 880 sq km/340 sq mi. It is the main political, economic, and cultural center of Russia. The 12th-century Kremlin (‘Citadel’), at the center of the city on the north bank of the river, is Moscow's main landmark" [Hutchinson (Firm). "Moscow," 2010. The Hutchinson unabridged encyclopedia with atlas and weather guide. Oxford, England: Helicon. http://www.credoreference.com/book/heliconhe]. This [painting] was most likely acquired by Andrew D. White while serving as ambassador to Russia, 1892-1894.
