In the 1830s studied with V. A. Tropinin in the Moscow public art class (later Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture).
From her three she was given up for upbringing in a landlord family. The impressions of this time left an imprint on Tatyana's character, painfully proud and maximalistly straightforward, manifested later in her relationship with people.
Since 1838, Tatyana Alekseevna married to the master of mathematics N.I. Astrakov (1809-1842). Through her husband, she met A.I. Herzen , N.P. Ogaryov , T.N. Granovsky , M.S. Shchepkin , and E.F. Korsh .
