Further influences on Serov were the old master paintings he viewed in the museums of Russia and Western Europe, friendships with Mikhail Vrubel and later Konstantin Korovin. The greatest works of Serov's early period were "The Girl with Peaches" and "The Girl Covered by the Sun". In these paintings Serov concentrated on spontaneity of perception of the model and nature.
