<p><b>New page</b></p><div>An amateur German artist with whom Tchaikovsky briefly corresponded in 1879. She painted the painting ''Melancholy'', which she presented to the composer through [[Iosif Kotek]], who became acquainted with her family in [[Berlin]] in the spring of 1879 <ref name="note1"/>. Although there were several Fernow sisters, it has now been established <ref name="note2"/> that the author of ''Melancholy'' was Anna Fernow (b. 1844), the older sister of the Prussian-born American forester Bernhard Eduard Fernow (1851–1923) and of Sophie Fernow (b. 1859), who studied under [[Hans von Bülow]] and later also emigrated to America where she worked as a piano teacher in [[Baltimore]] and the [[New York]] area. Another sibling seems to have been [[Hermann Fernow]], the deputy of Tchaikovsky's [[Berlin]]-based concert agent, [[Hermann Wolff]]. <br />
<br />
The painting ''Melancholy'' to this day hangs over the composer's bed in his house at [[Klin]]<br />
