About the piece

Painted in 1911 by Valentin Serov, this portrait of Princess Olga Orlova is a masterpiece of early 20th-century Russian art. The composition is defined by the dramatic silhouette of the Princess’s extravagant black hat and luxurious fur wrap, set against the refined, light-filled interior of a palatial room. Serov’s fluid brushwork and sophisticated tonal range of grays, golds, and blues convey both the sitter's status and the artist's technical mastery.
