RE: Dostoyevsky's THE IDIOT Chapter VI & VII - Steemit Bookclub
By the way, I remember that at the end of the chapter 6, Dostoyevsky describes Elizabetha Prokofievna Epanchin as looking very similar to Holbein's Virgin painting which is in Dresden. According Google, this must be this painting:

So this is what the Mother Epanchin looks like in Dostoyevsky imagination :)
yes, a very unusual comparison to this very character-) but the way of thinking of a genius is unpredictable, but I imagined her quite different-)
haha and now you will be unable to see her differently than that XD By the way, i have created a Discord group for the book club, maybe it will be easier to communicate. If you want to join, here it is: https://discord.gg/fPkB7G6
