About the artist: Born in Poltava, a nobleman's family of a serviceman of the Poltava Cadet Corps.
For some he wanted to become an artist. But his father dreamed of a son's military career and gave him to the Poltava Cadet Corps, which he graduated from in 1863 and went to study in St. Petersburg.
He graduated from the 1 st St. Petersburg Military Gymnasium and the Mikhail Artillery Academy.
In 1870 the military engineer, headquarters captain Nikolai Yaroshenko was appointed to the St. Petersburg Cartridge Factory, where he worked more than twenty years. In 1892, in the rank of Major General resigned.
Yaroshenko often came to Ukraine, in particular, in recent years, to Poltava and Chernihiv.
In the last years of his life and work he went to Kislovodsk, where in 1885 he bought a house called White Ville, where he lived and worked until his death. While in Kislovodsk, Nikolay Yaroshenko came to Dmitry Mendeleyev, Nikolay Dubovsky (Dubovskaya), and Mikhail Nesterov. In recent years, despite a serious illness, Yaroshenko traveled a lot in Russia and abroad: he was on the Volga, in Italy, Syria, Palestine and Egypt. He was an honorary citizen of Kislovodsk.
