About the piece

Painted in 1881 by Finnish master Albert Edelfelt, this double portrait depicts the Grand Dukes Boris and Kirill Vladimirovich. The composition masterfully balances the soft textures of the children's white outfits and the furry rugs with the deep greens of a conservatory background, capturing a peaceful moment of aristocratic childhood.
