Levitsky, a prominent Russian artist of the 18th and 19th centuries, captured the essence of royalty and nobility through his masterful portraits. His works immortalize the Imperial Russian Royal Family, including Tsar Nicholas II, in all their regal splendor. One such masterpiece is the captivating portrait of Sisters Ekaterina Mikhaylovna, Maria Mikhaylovna und Julia Mikhaylovna Pashkov. Levitsky's attention to detail brings out their individual beauty and grace. Count Otto Heinrich Igelstrom also found himself under Levitsky's brush in 1790. The portrait showcases Count Igelstrom's dignified presence and aristocratic charm. Another notable subject was Paul Pavlovich Demidoff, 2nd Prince of San Donato, accompanied by his wife Maria. Their refined elegance radiates from the canvas. Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna of Russia entrusted Levitsky with capturing precious moments with her children Irina Alexandrovna and Andrei. Through his artistry, he immortalized their innocence and familial love. In one remarkable piece titled "The Family of Emperor Alexander II, " Levitsky portrays an intimate scene that offers a glimpse into the private life of this influential ruler. The painting exudes warmth as it captures tender interactions between family members. Not limited to Russian subjects alone, it also painted Empress Eugenie during her reign in France around 1864. This portrait reflects both her beauty and strength as she held a position of power alongside Napoleon III. Even historical figures like Queen Catherine II were not exempt from being immortalized by Levitsky's talent; although this particular work was created by an unknown artist inspired by him. Levistky continued to leave his mark on history even after his passing through works such as Dmitry Sergeyevich Sipyagin's posthumous portrait in 1902.
