About the piece
Painted in 1772 by the Russian master Fyodor Rokotov, this portrait of Alexandra Struiskaya is renowned for its mysterious and poetic atmosphere. Rokotov's signature 'haze' creates a delicate treatment of light on her silk garments and a gentle, contemplative expression that defines the elegance of late Rococo portraiture.
