==Biography==
He attended a classical grammar school and was originally planning for a career in medicine, but soon found himself attracted to art. In pursuit of that, he moved to St. Petersburg and began auditing classes at the [Imperial Academy of Arts](/source/Imperial_Academy_of_Arts). One of his portraits was awarded a small silver medal in 1861.[{{ВТ-ЭСБЕ|Александровский, Степан Федорович}}]
