Portrait of Jovan Novakovich, from nature

Portrait painted in the Serbian city of Shid during the open-air "Viditsi - 2017" ("Views - 17"). During two sessions of painting a portrait, Jovan told me a lot of interesting things, for example about the magnificent adventurer ("the highest and best brand") Count Savva Lukich Raguzinsky, the Serb, an associate of Peter the Great, who exerted a strong influence on the development of Russias economy and culture, and on strengthening the position of the Russian state on the international arena
