Vassya Lyahewitch

Overview

A friend of Marie's father in the Poltava province, called «un bon type d'ici»; the Mon Journal t.14 index has «Lyahewitch (Vassya), ami de Constantin Bashkirtseff : 148». His surname is as the edition prints it; no other details are known.

Relevance to Marie

On 14 June 1881 (2 June Russian style) at Gavronzi: «Le soir mon père revient de Poltava et amène Vassya Lyahewitch un bon type d'ici qui ressemble un peu à Robert Mitchell» (092.0118). The same page brings four press cuttings from Paris about her work, two of them mild attacks. See ROBERT_MITCHELL.
