This painting shows a young girl, Grand Duchess Catherine Pavlovna, in a fancy dress. She's only about 4 years old here. The artist painted this miniature decades after she died, using an earlier portrait as a guide. It was likely made for her family as a keepsake. The delicate details in this portrait are impressive.
