EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Countess Sophia Sergeevna Ignatieva, the elegant wife of a high-ranking retinue officer in the late 19th century Russian court. The photograph, taken by renowned Russian photographer I Milevskii between 1880 and 1889, offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the aristocracy during the Tsarist era. Countess Ignatieva is depicted standing gracefully, dressed in an exquisite velvet gown, adorned with intricate patterns and rich textures. Her fashionable attire, complete with a delicate fan, reflects the refined taste and sophistication of the Russian nobility. The portrait, taken indoors, showcases the ornate interior of a grand residence, further emphasizing the wealth and status of the subject. This image is part of a larger collection of over four hundred photographs documenting daily life in Yenisei Province during the Tsarist period. The collection, housed in the Library of Congress, includes portraits of peasants, Cossacks, and other high-ranking officials. This photograph, in particular, offers a unique perspective on the fashion and lifestyle of the Russian aristocracy during this time. The image, with its timeless quality, transports us back to a bygone era, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and elegance of a long-lost era. The velvet fabric of Countess Ignatieva's dress, the intricate patterns on her fan, and the ornate interior of her residence all serve as reminders of the rich heritage and history of Russia during the 1880s.
