The family lived in St. Petersburg, and for the summer holidays went to a suburban estate near Kharkov.

Zinaida was a student for a very short time. At the age of seventeen, the girl studied for several months at an art school founded by Maria Tenisheva. “I worked furiously, I drew a lot, I did not pursue artistic fashion. Zinaida got a job if she put her soul into it, ” said his brother Eugene.
Stages of a Long Way
From a student's bench, the young artist tried to embody in her paintings a true love for the magnificence of the world. Her first canvases - "Garden in Bloom" (1908) and "Peasant Girl" (1906) - loudly "talk" about it.
“My beloved husband was on a long business trip. In 1909, winter came earlier than usual, everything was covered with fluffy snow - everywhere there are high snowdrifts, leaving the house is not as easy as in the warm months. But in our house, cosiness and beauty, I picked up a brush, oil and began to depict its reflection in the mirror, as well as beads, two candles, four hairpins for hats. " This work of art was first presented to the public early next year.
In 1911, Zinaida Serebryakova became a member of the World of Art society.
Five years later, Benoit Alexander Nikolaevich received a lucrative order from the Kazan station, he invited gifted painters to contribute to the work, including Zinaida Evgenievna. The choice of a talented woman fell on the theme of the East. During this period, the artist is also working on a picture about Slavic myths, which has remained incomplete.
In 1919, she fell into disaster, Zinaida did not have money to buy oil paints, and the artist began to draw with charcoal, with a simple pencil.
In 1929, Zinaida Evgenievna left for Morocco. Bright colors began to play again in her works, the scarlet sun began to shine, and the long-forgotten joy returned. In a hot country, Serebryakova draws the Atlas, local girls in national clothes and young men with a turban on their heads.
