Les Romanovs at Tsarskoe-Selo - The Empress, in a Rolling Chair, Works on Embroidery while Gazing at Her Family Gardening, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant photograph that captures a moment of quiet respite for Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna (Alix of Hesse and by Rhine) amidst the chaos of the Russian Revolution. The image, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris in 1924, depicts the last Tsarina of Russia, dressed in a simple blouse and an apron, seated in a rolling chair, engrossed in her embroidery work. Her gaze is fixed on her family members, who are seen tending to the gardens outside, oblivious to the impending rebellion that would soon engulf the country. Alexandra Feodorovna, a German princess by birth, had been living in exile in Tsarskoe-Selo, a royal estate near Pushkin, Saint Petersburg, Russia, since her marriage to Tsar Nicholas II in 1894. The photograph was taken just a few months before the Russian Revolution, which began in March 1917, leading to the downfall of the Romanov dynasty and the end of the Russian Empire. The image offers a rare glimpse into the personal life of the Tsarina, who was often criticized for her German heritage and her perceived role in the country's woes during World War I. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the human side of history, showcasing a moment of tranquility and introspection amidst the turmoil of war and revolution. The photograph, created by an unknown artist, is a valuable historical document that provides insights into the lives of the last Russian Imperial family and the events that led to the Russian Revolution. It is a poignant reminder of the fragility of power and the enduring human desire for peace and tranquility, even in the midst of conflict and upheaval.
