Valentina Khodasevich was a painter, graphic artist, and stage designer, one of the prominent representatives of the Leningrad school of theatrical and decorative art of the 1920s–1930s. Born on February 23, 1894, in Moscow into a family of a lawyer and art collector, she was the niece of poet Vyacheslav Khodasevich. She studied at the Stroganov Art and Industrial School (1908–1910), in Fyodor Rerberg's studio, with Hugo von Habermann in Munich (1910–1911), and at the Académie Vitti with Kees van Dongen in Paris (1911–1912). In 1912, she worked in Vladimir Tatlin's workshop. In 1919, she made her debut as a stage designer with Nikolai Gumilev's play "The Tree of Transformations" at the Studio of the Petrograd Theatre Department. Her collaboration with director Sergey Radlov was particularly significant. At the People's Comedy Theatre, she designed his productions: "Monsieur de Pourceaugnac", "The Merry Wives of Windsor", "Benefactors of Versailles", "The Flying Doctor", "Sultan and Devil"; at GATOB (State Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet), she created designs for "The Fountain of Bakhchisaray", "Esmeralda", "William Tell".
