About this object
The three-quarter-length portrait portrays Princess Gagarin facing partly right, eyes looking forward, and a child against a neutral-light grey background. The identities of the sitters remain a mystery. The young woman with a white frilled cap sits on a tasseled armchair. She wears a yellow housecoat with a large ruffled collar and red ribbon. The child, possibly Gagarin’s daughter, leans against her leg and looks towards the viewer. She wears a simple white dress with an empire waist.
