Possibly Ivan Vishnyakov’s finest portrait, this is one of the most poetic images of a child painted in Russia in the eighteenth century.

Her son was the first Count Stenbock-Fairmore, one of the most distinguished families in Imperial Russia. Russian Museum: From Icons to the Modern Times. Palace Editions, St Petersburg, 2015. P. 83.
