EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait captures Grand Duke Serge Aleksandrovich of Russia, the eldest son of Emperor Alexander II, in the late 19th century. The Grand Duke is depicted facing right, his piercing eyes gazing intently at an unseen audience. His beard, neatly trimmed, frames a strong jawline and a serious expression. The Grand Duke is dressed in a formal attire, typical of the Russian aristocracy of the time, with a high collar and intricate patterns adorning his shirt and jacket. Emperor Alexander II, also known as Alexander II the Liberator, reigned from 1855 to 1881. He was a significant figure in Russian history, known for his reforms and modernization efforts. His son, Grand Duke Sergei Aleksandrovich, was born in 1876 and would later become the Grand Duke of Russia and the last male heir to the Russian throne before the Russian Revolution. This portrait is reminiscent of the Meeting of Frontiers, a series of photographs taken during the late 19th century that documented the diverse peoples and landscapes of the Russian Empire. The portrait's black and white tone adds to its timeless and classic appeal. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of the Romanov dynasty and the fashion of the 1870s and 1880s. This portrait is part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, located in Washington D.C., and is a valuable addition to any collection of historical portraits or Russian art. The image is a still, evocative reminder of the grandeur and complexity of the Russian Empire during the 19th century.
