Catherine II (Catherine the Great) (1729-1796), by Alexander Roslin, 1776-1777. Catherine reigned as Empress of Russia from June 28, 1762 until her death. By mounting the Orlov diamond in her sceptre, Catherine was perhaps reminding herself that she owed her throne to the Orlovs. The Romanovs by Virginia Cowles, page 98.
