EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Yekaterina Nelidova, a prominent figure in Russian history. Painted by the talented artist Levitsky in 1773, this oil on canvas masterpiece is now housed in the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. Yekaterina Ivanovna Nelidova was not only a noblewoman but also held the esteemed position of lady-in-waiting. However, her story takes an intriguing turn as she became the royal mistress of Tsar Paul I of Russia. This scandalous affair adds an air of mystery and allure to her already fascinating persona. The portrait itself captures Yekaterina's elegance and grace with remarkable detail. Dressed in a formal full-length landscape gown, she exudes confidence and poise. Her smiling expression radiates happiness, while her stylish hat adds a touch of Rococo flair to the composition. Levitsky's skillful brushwork brings out every nuance of Yekaterina's features, emphasizing her beauty and charm. The rich colors and intricate textures further enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of this artwork. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when nobility reigned supreme and courtly affairs were shrouded in secrecy.
