Empress Elizabeth Alexievna, née Princess Louise of Baden-Durlach by Ernst Gotthilf Bosse (private collection)

This is an out take from a full-length portrait, but the available image of the whole portrait is almost microscopic and the bodice and skirt are black set against a dark background so it is not reproduced here.

Elizabeth Alexeievna wears a lace cap or liner inside of her hat strapped to her head. The similarity to the possibly Orléans Lady of the French court posted with this image is remarkable.
