Summary edit

Description	Елизавета Алексеевна (императрица, в трауре). Королевское собрание.
Date	after 1 Dec 1825
Source	http://www.rulex.ru/rpg/portraits/27/27982.htm Скан из каталога выставки "Незабываемая Россия. Русские и Россия глазами британцев XVII – XIX век". Каталог был обнаружен мною в бумажной версии, картинка там ужасная черно-белая, размером с палец; в выставке, видимо, не участвовала и напечатана там для общего развития. Royal Collection - image page: This is a portrait of a widow grieving painted between the death of the Emperor her husband on 1 December 1825 and her own death in 16 May 1826. It shows her with a bust of her late husband at Taganorog on the Sea of Azov where the Tzar's last days had been spend and where the couple had been finally reconciled after an unhappy marriage. The grieving widow clutches her heart as she considers the bust of her husband, which looks like a term, or a pagan altar to the god Pan and which seems to be being swallowed by the light of the setting sun. The portrait was originally half length and was expanded, possibly by Dawe, in order to make it a matching companion for the portrait of Alexander I (RCIN 400098). Both portraits were executed for Mrs Pitt the companion of the Empress. It is difficult to imagine the effect that this image must have had on Queen Victoria when within six months of buying it in July 1861 her own husband died.
Author	Доу Джордж (George Dawe)
