About the piece
Painted in 1773 by Dmitry Levitzky, this double portrait depicts Ekaterina Khruschova and Ekaterina Khovanskaya, students of the Smolny Institute for Noble Maidens. The pair is captured in theatrical attire—one as a youth in a blue coat and the other in a ruffled silk gown—highlighting the artist's extraordinary ability to render delicate fabrics and lively, youthful expressions against a dark, atmospheric park landscape.
