EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, the last monarch of Imperial Russia, engaged in a lively game of tennis at Krasnoye Selo, his country residence located near Leningrad (now St. Petersburg). Circa 1900, the Tsar dons a casual yet elegant outfit, consisting of a white shirt, gray trousers, and a straw hat, as he focuses intently on the ball. His wife, Alexandra Feodorovna, and their children, Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Maria, Anastasia, and Tsarevich Alexei, gather around the court, observing the game with delight. Tennis was a popular sport among the Russian royal family, and Krasnoye Selo boasted an impressive tennis pavilion, designed by the renowned architect, Alexander I.M. Gornostayev. The Tsar's passion for tennis was a testament to his love for an active lifestyle and his dedication to maintaining the health and wellbeing of his family. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of the Romanovs, providing a glimpse into their leisure activities and the idyllic setting of their country estate. The image serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when the Russian monarchy reigned supreme and the Tsar and his family enjoyed the simple pleasures of life.
