Pauline Viardot and Ivan Turgenev
Louis Viardot

Here's a cartoon of Pauline Viardot and Ivan Turgenev by an unnamed artist
Isn't there an uncanny resemblance between Pauline Viardot and Maria Ewing?

A lovely woman I know here in London wrote a great novel starting with this story - I think you might like it:
