Anna Akhmatova (pen name of Anna Andreyevna Gorenko, 1889-1966)
An inscribed photograph. 1960
Photograph of Akhmatova standing outdoors with two other women, signed ('Akhmatova') and inscribed to Maria Konstantinovna Mukhanova, Moscow, 30 December 1960.

The photograph 157 x 116mm, inscribed on the verso.

Signed photographs by Akhmatova are rare at auction: no examples are recorded as having been sold on ABPC or RBH. By the early 1960s, Akhmatova had been to a degree rehabilitated in Soviet public life, and was increasingly acclaimed as one of the last great Silver Age figures.
