“The day was mild, dreamy, and calm—one of those late fall days when the year, having exhausted all the colors and nuances of that season, seems to revert to the springtime pages of the calendar. The sunless sky had settled itself into colored streaks, gentle strips of cobalt, verdigris, and celadon, framed at the edges with whiteness as clear as water—the colors of April, inexpressible and long forgotten.”

—

Bruno Schulz, from ‘The Old Age Pensioner’ in Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass, trans. Celina Wieniewska.

   “Był dzień bezwietrzny, łagodny i zamyślony, jeden z tych dni późnej jesieni, w których rok, wyczerpawszy wszystkie kolory i odcienie tej pory, zdaje się powracać do wiosennych rejestrów kalendarza. Niebo bez słońca ułożyło się w kolorowe smugi, łagodne warstwy kobaltu, grynszpanu i seledynu, zamknięte na samej krawędzi smugą czystej jak woda białości — kolor kwietnia niewymowny i dawno zapomniany.”

Žena u srpskom, Katarina Ivanović. Gallery of Matica Srpska in Novi Sad.

Anka, the younger sister of Princess Persida Karađorđević, born on September 27, 1820 in Hotin, to father Jevrem J. Nenadović, duke from the First Serbian Uprising and mother Jovanka Joka, daughter of duke Mladen Milovanović. In 1831 they settled in Valjevo, where Jevrem was soon appointed as the district chief.

Anka married Milosav Topalović, a merchant from Kragujevac, the son of Petar Topalović, a participant in the Second Uprising. They had three children; Petar, Leposava and Savka. At the time when Katarina Ivanović painted the portrait, Anka was 17 years old, she probably got married that same year. Anka died together with her newborn daughter Savka in 1843 at the age of 23, after a difficult childbirth.
