Sophia Ivanovna Kramskaya (Софья Ивановна Юнкер-Крамская) (1866–1933) was a Russian painter.[1]

Biography[edit]

Kramskaya was born in 1866.[2] She was the daughter of the painter Ivan Kramskoi. She was married to George Junker, a lawyer in Saint Petersburg, who died in 1916.[3]

She exhibited her work at the Woman's Building at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.[3]

Kramskaya spent two years in exile in Siberia sentenced for three years for counter-revolutionary propaganda in 1931, but released ahead of time in 1932 due to uncurable paralysis.[3] Kramskaya died in 1933.[2]

Her painting Girl in the Kokoshnik is in the collection of the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg.[4]
