Empress Elizabeth Alexyevna in the Park of Tsarskoye Selo by George Dawe (Hermitage)

Dawe portrays Elizabeth wearing 1820s dress with sleeves puffed at the top and covered with diaphanous material down to her wrists. The higher waistline and close skirt are Napoléonic left overs, but her waistline forms a shallow vee that would return as the 1820s closed.
