About the piece
Painted in 1824 by George Dawe, this stately full-length portrait depicts Grand Duchess Anna Pavlovna of Russia. Dressed in a striking red Empire-waist gown and a deep blue embroidered shawl, she stands beside a classical pedestal and bust, set against a softly rendered landscape that exemplifies the Romantic era's appreciation for nature and antiquity.
