EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a tender moment between Grand Duke Alexander and Grand Duke Alexey, two young boys who would go on to play significant roles in Russian history. Painted by Vladimir Ivanovich Hau in 1853, this watercolor on cardboard piece showcases the innocence and curiosity of childhood. The grand dukes are depicted standing side by side in a lush garden, surrounded by vibrant flowers and towering trees. A gentle breeze rustles their hair as they gaze out into the distance with wide-eyed wonder. In the foreground, a friendly goat grazes peacefully, adding an element of charm to the scene. A beautifully ornate carriage sits nearby, hinting at the opulent lifestyle these royal children were born into. The composition is masterfully balanced, capturing both the grandeur of their surroundings and the intimacy shared between siblings. Grand Duke Alexander would later become Emperor Alexander III of Russia, leaving his mark on history through his reign from 1881 to 1894. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of his humble beginnings and offers insight into his formative years. Preserved within Moscow's Pushkin Museum, this artwork allows us to glimpse into a world long gone but forever immortalized through art. It stands as a testament to Hau's skillful brushwork and ability to capture not only physical likeness but also emotional depth.
