"Dolgorukaya: A Russian Royal Princess's Extraordinary Journey" In the late 19th century, amidst political turmoil and societal constraints, a remarkable tale unfolded. Princess Ekaterina Mikhailovna Dolgorukova, a member of the esteemed Russian nobility, found herself embarking on an unexpected adventure. It all began with her daring escape on the HMS Marlborough. Fleeing from the confines of her royal life, she sought freedom and independence beyond the borders of Russia. This audacious act would forever change her destiny. Captured in a stunning portrait from 1880, we catch a glimpse of Princess Ekaterina's beauty and grace. Her captivating eyes reflect both strength and vulnerability as she gazes into eternity, and is within this frame that we witness her determination to forge her own path. Her story intertwines with Alexander II of Russia, who shared his life with this extraordinary princess. In another captivating image captured by an anonymous artist they can seen together surrounded by their children – a testament to their love and commitment despite societal disapproval. Princess Ekaterina was not just defined by her role as a mother; she possessed an individuality that shone through in every aspect of her life. Another portrait showcases her maternal tenderness towards Georgy and Olga during the end of the 1870s or early 1880s – capturing moments filled with warmth and affection. Yet it wasn't only Princess Ekaterina who left behind an indelible mark on history; other members of the Dolgorukov family were equally fascinating figures. One such example is Countess Anastasia Nikolaevna Shcherbatova (nee Dolgorukova), whose enigmatic gaze immortalized by Molinari tells tales untold. The lineage continues further back in time through portraits like that of Countess Yekaterina Gavriilovna Gagarina painted by Borovikovsky in 1801.
