EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oval print captures the enchanting likeness of Elizabeth Petrovna, Empress of Russia, born in 1709 as Anna Ioannovna, but later assumed the throne in 1741 following the death of her husband, Peter II. Elizabeth, also known as Elizaveta or Elisabeth, ruled Russia from 1741 until her own demise in 1762. Elizabeth's reign was marked by significant cultural and political transformations. She was an ardent patron of the arts, fostering a flourishing literary and artistic scene in Russia. Her court was graced by the presence of renowned artists, musicians, and writers, including the famous Russian poet, Gavrila Derzhavin. Elizabeth's regal attire in this print reflects the opulence and grandeur of the Russian court during her reign. The low-cut neckline of her gown, adorned with intricate lace and pearls, is a testament to the fashion trends of the time. Her elaborate headdress, bedecked with precious stones and feathers, adds to her regal allure. Despite her many accomplishments, Elizabeth's reign was not without controversy. Her rise to power was not without intrigue, as she had been exiled to a convent following the death of her husband, Peter II. However, she managed to regain favor with the powerful court factions and eventually ascended to the throne. Her reign was also marked by military conflicts, including the Seven Years' War, which saw significant territorial gains for Russia. This print offers a glimpse into the life of one of Russia's most intriguing empresses, Elizabeth Petrovna, whose reign left an indelible mark on Russian history.
