Figure 1.--This portrait is of Princess Alexandra Petrovna Galitzine, née Protassov and was painted in 1794. I do not yet have detailed information on the Princess. She holds her nephew Angela. Note the rather short dress the boys wears. Other portraits more commonly show young children wearing longer dresses. |

This appears to have been painted in Russia where Madame Vigée Le Brun went after a time in Austria. Her portraits were very popular with Russian nobels
