The work of Miloš Timotijević on Nadežda Petrović represents a thorough historiographical study that precisely places her personality within the political, cultural, and ideological context of the time, relying on archival material and documents.
Serbian ruler portraits from the time of King Milutin provide a complete picture of the ideology of earthly power and the preoccupations of the Serbian king and his closest circle. During the reign of King Milutin, Serbian ruler images were already fully aligned with the Byzantine ceremonial image. The portrait ensembles from this period are based on the imperial idea and laid the foundation for Serbian ruler portraits, especially those from the time of the empire.
