The future empress elizabeth petrovna, daughter of peter i and catherine i, is depicted naked as flora (?), lying on a blue ermine-lined mantle, a sign of belonging to the imperial family. In her right hand she holds a miniature portrait of her father, peter i, with the blue st. Andrew's ribbon attached to the frame. The architectural background is a neutral brown drapery on the right side. There is something piquant in the fact that the child is given the form of an adult woman. But at that time, according to the laws of portraiture, children were depicted as adults. Object Type: painting. Genre: portrait. Date: second half of the 1710s, photo 03/08/2008.
