About the piece
Dated to 1685, this striking oil painting depicts Tsarevna Sophia Alekseyevna, the regent of Russia. The work is a complex heraldic composition, placing the sovereign in a central medallion set upon the Imperial double-headed eagle, surrounded by smaller symbolic vignettes and holding the traditional regalia of power.
