EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegance and intellect of Princess Yekaterina R. Vorontsova-Dashkova, a prominent figure in 18th-century Russia. Painted by an anonymous Russian artist, this oil on canvas masterpiece is now housed in the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art in Moscow. Princess Yekaterina Romanovna Vorontsova-Dashkova was not only a close friend of Catherine II, but also held the prestigious position as the first president of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In this portrait, she exudes confidence and poise while seated gracefully, adorned in a stunning red gown with intricate details. Her regal presence is further enhanced by her luxurious fur cloak and vibrant sash that elegantly drapes across her lap. The princess's piercing gaze suggests deep concentration as she engrosses herself in a book, showcasing her passion for knowledge and love for literature. A beautiful brooch adorns her chest, adding a touch of sophistication to her ensemble. This painting truly encapsulates Princess Yekaterina's intelligence and education, highlighting her significant contributions to academia during an era when women were often marginalized. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection at www. bridgemanimages. com, we are transported back to a time where intellectual pursuits were highly valued and celebrated among royalty.
