Countess Countess Alexander Nikolaevitch Lamsdorff by Winterhalter in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2009
Artist: Franz Xaver Winterhalter (German, Menzenschwand 1805–1873 Frankfurt am Main)
Title: Countess Alexander Nikolaevitch Lamsdorff (née Maria Ivanovna Beck, 1835–1866)
Date: 1859
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 57 1/4 x 45 1/4 in. (145.4 x 114.9 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Bequest of Miss Adelaide Milton de Groot (1876–1967), 1967
Accession Number: 67.187.119
Gallery Label:
Although trained in Germany, Winterhalter spent most of his adult life in Paris, where he became a favorite portraitist of European aristocrats. In 1841 alone, his sitters included the king and queen of Belgium; King Louis-Philippe of France; and Queen Maria Cristina of Spain. The following year, he added Marie-Amélie, queen of France, and Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of England to his roster of royal models.
The twenty-four-year-old countess depicted here was the wife of Alexander Nikolaevitch Lamsdorff, a Russian aristocrat and Francophile. The book of English poetry in her lap is thought to be a reference to her father, Ivan Alexandrovitch Beck, a poet and translator. Her choice of a fashionable day dress may have been suggested by Winterhalter, who is known to have advised his sitters on their wardrobe and posed them to their best advantage in his studio.
