Alexandra Shchekotikhina-Pototskaya (1892-1967) was a Russian artist renowned for her expertise in graphic arts and porcelain painting, whose artistic inspiration was deeply rooted in her Russian Old Believers heritage and her grandfather's involvement in iconography. Her work is notably influenced by Russian folklore and icons, reflecting a profound connection to her cultural background. In her portrayals of figures, Shchekotikhina-Pototskaya places significant emphasis on costume, a theme that held personal importance for the artist, likely influenced by her grandmother's occupation as an embroiderer. This monograph offers a comprehensive introduction to her remarkable body of work.
