Nikolai Jaroshenko often portrayed female students. Vladimir Stasov wrote: “He was primarily a portraitist of the young generation, whose life and character he deeply felt, understood and conveyed.’ Jaroshenko’s wife had recently finished the Bestuzhev Courses for Women in St Petersburg (1878) and sat on the board of the grants society.The artist depicts a bashful teenage girl, conveying her spirituality and spontaneity. When Girl Student was shown at the eighth Travelling Art Exhibition, one of the reviewers wrote: ”No one could resist smiling at her confused face".
