About the piece
This 1759 portrait by Aleksey Antropov depicts A. M. Izmailova with the characteristic formality of the mid-18th century. The subject is rendered with striking realism, her face framed by a powdered wig and her gown composed of deep, luminous blues and intricate lace detailing, highlighted by a large, diamond-encrusted brooch.
