EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures the timeless beauty and grace of Princess Varvara Sergeyevna Dolgorukova, a prominent figure in Russian society during the early 19th century. Painted around 1820 by the talented artist Henri-Francoiss Riesener, this masterpiece showcases his mastery of classicism and attention to detail. Princess Dolgorukova, formerly known as Varvara Gagarina before her marriage, is depicted with an air of elegance and sophistication. Her regal presence is enhanced by her elaborate attire adorned with intricate lace details and delicate pearls. The artist skillfully captures her serene expression, hinting at both her inner strength and gentle nature. The use of oil on canvas adds depth to the painting, allowing for subtle nuances in color and texture that bring the subject to life. Riesener's meticulous brushstrokes highlight every feature of Princess Dolgorukova's face – from her piercing blue eyes to her rosy cheeks – creating a lifelike representation that captivates viewers even centuries later. Currently housed in the esteemed State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, this artwork serves as a testament to both Princess Dolgorukova's enduring legacy and Riesener's artistic prowess. It stands as a reminder of an era when portraiture was not only about capturing physical likeness but also conveying the essence of one's character through artistry. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the splendor and allure
