EDITORS COMMENTS
This head-and-shoulders portrait captures Marie Alexandrovna, the beloved wife of Emperor Alexander II of Russia, during her reign as Czarina from the 1870s through the 1880s. The photograph, taken between these decades, showcases Marie Alexandrovna's regal presence and striking features. Her dark hair, styled in an elegant updo, frames her delicate face, accentuating her piercing gaze. Born as Maria Anna of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Marie Alexandrovna became Grand Duchess of Russia upon her marriage to Emperor Alexander II in 1841. She was the mother of the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II, and played a significant role in the political and social life of the Russian Empire. The portrait's black-and-white composition adds to its timeless appeal, transporting us back to the grandeur of the 19th century monarchy. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of the House of Romanov and the meeting of frontiers between Russia and Europe during this period. Marie Alexandrovna's legacy extends beyond her role as Empress, as she later became the Duchess of Edinburgh upon her marriage to Prince Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Congressional Library, Washington D.C., USA. This portrait is a valuable addition to any collection of historical art, providing a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on Russian history.
