This exquisite portrait print captures the regal presence of Empress Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great. Painted in 1794 by Johann-Baptist von Lampi, a renowned Austrian artist, this masterpiece is now housed in the State Hermitage collection in St. Petersburg. Empress Catherine II was a powerful monarch who ruled over Russia from 1762 until her death in 1796. This painting showcases her elegance and authority, reflecting the opulence of the Rococo period.

As one gazes upon this portrait, it becomes evident that Catherine II possessed not only beauty but also intelligence and strength. Her piercing gaze suggests a woman who was both determined and capable of governing an empire. Catherine II's reign marked a significant era in Russian history.

This print serves as a window into an extraordinary time when autocracy reigned supreme and stateswomen like Empress Catherine II shaped nations with their vision and leadership. It stands as a testament to her enduring legacy within Russian monarchy while showcasing Lampi's exceptional talent for capturing both physical likeness and inner essence on canvas.
