Valentina Gusak: “Ritulya worked on the portrait of Tatyana Vladimirovna for a long time, was dissatisfied with the result, started work again several times. A few days before her death, she told me that she had talked to Sema about this portrait. They decided to ask Tatyana Vladimirovna to pose in order to better capture the facial features, reflect the character… it never happened…”
