EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic Katharina II, also known as Catherine the Great, who reigned as Empress of Russia from 1762 to 1796. Despite being an unknown creation from 1933, this portrait beautifully captures her regal presence and enduring legacy. Catherine's ascent to power was marked by a coup d'état following the assassination of her husband, Peter III. As one of history's longest-ruling female leaders and undoubtedly one of the most renowned, she revitalized Russia during her reign. Under Catherine's guidance, the country flourished both in size and strength, solidifying its position as one of Europe's great powers. The circular cigarette-card format adds a unique charm to this miniature portrait found within "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte" a book featuring figures from world history over four centuries. The color palette enhances Catherine's elegance while capturing every intricate detail of her hairstyle and attire. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to the splendorous days of eighteenth-century royalty. It serves as a testament to Catherine's indomitable spirit and unwavering determination that shaped not only Russian history but also left an indelible mark on global politics. This print is more than just a visual representation; it is an invitation into the extraordinary life and accomplishments of Catherine von Anhalt Zerbst - truly an icon among women throughout time.
