St Petersburg Catherine Palace-portraits


This is Catherine II in paper mache.


I believe this is Elizabeth I. They had their hair powdered.  Catherins II aka Sophie had a very long face with poited chin.



Catherine II again-the paper mache was modeled after this portrait. 

Here's Elizabeth I daughter of Peter I (the Great) without powder in her hair.  They were all fairly large people.



Probably Sophie/Catherine II.


Self portrait in baroque.


Couple portrait in baroque.
