Elena Kiseleva was born in Voronezh into the family of teacher and mathematician Andrei Petrovich Kiselev in 1878. Elena Kiseleva received her first private drawing lessons from Mikhail Ponomarev, a famous Voronezh photographer and artist. In 1898, after contracting typhus, Kiseleva decided to devote herself to the artistic path and became a student at the Higher Art School of the Academy of Arts. Elena Kiseleva became the first woman to graduate from the Academy of Arts and officially receive a pension for studying abroad. The portrait of her son on his deathbed is Elena Kiseleva's last work. She kept the picture in her room; according to the artist's will, it was burned during cremation after her death. The artist died at the age of 95.
