Object:Group portrait of Radomir and Bosa Bojović and their daughters
Description:Half-length shot of a man, a woman, a baby and a small child. The woman is wearing a dark high-necked dress with a broche; both children are dressed in white tunics. The baby is sitting on the woman's lap, while the other child is sitting on a padded chair, leaning against them. The man is standing behind them, dressed in a uniform adorned with insignia of honor and rank. He has placed his right hand on the shoulder of the woman and his left hand on the small child's shoulder.
Comment:Colonel Radivoje Bojović, who later became Minister of Military Affairs, was the son of Colonel Todor Bojević and Jelena Tadić. His sister Ljubica married the famous voivode Radomir Putnik. Radivoje married Bosiljka (Bosa) Horstig and had two daughters with her, Marta and Jelena. Bosa Horstig was the oldest daughter of Marta and Paul von Horstig (Pavle Horstig). The latter was a descendant of an old Prussian family. After the Franco-Prussian War he moved to Serbia, where he became a representative of Krupp and allegedly also one of the founders of freemasonry in Serbia.
