1684 1725 1727 Catherine Empress Neckline Plump Ringlets Tsar
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures the regal presence of Catherine I, the second wife of Tsar Peter I of Russia, also known as Peter the Great. Born in Germany in 1684 as Princess Sophia Friederike of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Catherine rose to become the empress consort of Russia in 1725, following the death of Tsaritsa Eudoxia Lopukhina. In this image, Catherine is depicted in the grandeur of her imperial role, adorned in rich fabrics and jewels. Her plump figure and low-cut neckline accentuate her feminine allure, while her ringlets cascade down her shoulders. The portrait, dated to 1725-27, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Russian court during Catherine's reign. Catherine's influence on Peter and Russian culture was significant, and she is remembered as a patron of the arts and a champion of Germanic customs. Her reign marked a period of stability and prosperity in Russia, making this portrait a valuable representation of a pivotal moment in Russian history.
