EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, painted by Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun in 1794, showcases the elegance and tenderness of Princess Alexandra Petrovna Galitzine (Golitsyna or Galitzyne) with her son. The artist's skillful use of oil on canvas brings to life the refined features of the princess and her child, capturing a moment frozen in time. Princess Alexandra, born Protassov in 1774 and passing away in 1842, exudes grace as she gazes thoughtfully into the distance. Her porcelain-like complexion is accentuated by a vibrant red dress that adds a touch of regality to her appearance. With delicate brushstrokes, Vigee-Lebrun captures every detail from the intricate folds of fabric to the subtle highlights on Alexandra's face. Beside her stands her young son, his cherubic face reflecting innocence and curiosity. The bond between mother and child is palpable as their eyes meet tenderly. This painting not only immortalizes their physical likeness but also encapsulates an intimate connection shared between generations. Vigee-Lebrun was renowned for her ability to capture both beauty and emotion in her portraits, making this piece no exception. It exemplifies French art from the 18th century with its classical style characterized by meticulous attention to detail and idealized representations. Today, this masterpiece resides at the State A. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow where it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless depiction of maternal
