In the 1920s, Isaeva combined studying with work: she taught modeling, drawing and drawing at the Literacy School on Bolshoy Prospekt and at the Central Quarantine and Distribution Center for Children on Krasnye Zori Street in Leningrad. It was then, in the wake of a general fascination with the people and art of Africa, that figurines of blacks and graphic sheets with African subjects, rare in the artist’s subsequent work, appeared, intended for a children’s book that was never published.
