About the piece

Painted around 1820 by Jan Baptist van der Hulst, this portrait depicts Anna Pavlovna, Grand Duchess of Russia. The work is notable for its exquisite rendering of materials, particularly the luminous pearls and the deep, light-catching indigo velvet of her gown, characteristic of the era's formal court portraiture.
