The artwork, now housed in the esteemed collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow, captures a moment frozen in time during a tumultuous period in Russian history. Countess Maria N. Volkonskaya was not only known for her beauty but also for her involvement in the rebellious spirit that swept across Russia during this era. This portrait serves as a testament to her strength and resilience amidst political turmoil and upheaval.
