About the piece
This 1730 portrait by Louis Caravaque depicts Empress Anna Ioannovna of Russia in a definitive display of imperial power. Clad in an elaborately embroidered silver gown and a heavy ermine-lined mantle, she holds a scepter while her hand rests upon the globus cruciger, set against a backdrop of grand, shadowed architecture.
