Portrait of Countess Elizaveta Romanovna Vorontsova (1739-1792)

Portrait of Countess Elizaveta Romanovna Vorontsova (1739-1792). Culture: Russian, St. Petersburg. Dimensions: H. 42 1/2 x W. 34 inches (108 x 86.4 cm). Maker: Workshop of Jean Baptiste Rondet (active 1740-64). Manufactory: Imperial Russian Tapestry Manufactory, Saint Petersburg. Date: 1762.
In 1716, Tzar Peter the Great founded a tapestry-weaving workshop in his new capital city, Saint Petersburg. Although many of the tapestries made in the workshop took Old Master paintings by the likes of Rembrandt and van Dyck as their models, some were more unusual. Exceptional is this portrait of the scandalous mistress of Tzar Peter III. Only aged twenty-three at the time of weaving, the soft blush of her cheeks, and sumptuous materials of her gown have been admirably captured by the Gobelins-trained weaver.
