EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the remarkable Empress Catherine II The Great of Russia, a prominent figure in history. Created by Pierre Duflos in 1780, this hand-coloured copper engraving with gilt exudes elegance and regality. Empress Catherine II, born Princess Sophia Frederica Augusta of Anhalt-Zerbst, ascended to become the ruler of All the Russias. Her reign was marked by political prowess and cultural enlightenment. In this portrait, she is depicted wearing an exquisite costume that represents her power and status as a leader. The empress's attire features a stunning star-shaped crown adorned with jewels, symbolizing her imperial authority. She also wears the prestigious Order of St. , represented by a ribbon gracefully draped across her chest. These elements emphasize her position as not only a tsarina but also a matriarch for the Russian people. Duflos masterfully captures Catherine's commanding presence through his intricate detailing and use of vibrant colors. This print from The Stapleton Collection offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the artistic skill behind it and the historical significance it represents. As we gaze upon this magnificent portrayal of Empress Catherine II The Great, we are reminded of her enduring legacy as one of Russia's most influential leaders.
