EDITORS COMMENTS
Princess Elizaveta Esperovna Trubetskaya, also known as Lise Troubetzkoi, was a prominent figure in Parisian high society during the late 1800s. Born into the Russian nobility, she served as a lady-in-waiting to the Empress Maria Feodorovna before moving to Paris and establishing a renowned salon. In this portrait, taken in the 1860s, Princess Elizaveta is depicted in elegant attire, exuding an air of refinement and sophistication. She wears a voluminous crinoline skirt, adorned with intricate floral patterns, and a frilly cloak that adds an element of mystery and allure. A bonnet, trimmed with delicate ribbons, completes her ensemble, while her regal posture and piercing gaze convey a sense of authority and poise. The princess's Parisian salon was a gathering place for artists, writers, and intellectuals, including Gustave Courbet, Edgar Degas, and Guy de Maupassant. Her home became a hub of creativity and innovation, where ideas were exchanged and friendships were forged. The empire waistline of her dress, a popular fashion trend during the Second Empire, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the era. Elizaveta's life was a testament to the enduring power of culture and the arts, as well as the ability of a Russian aristocrat to adapt and thrive in a foreign land. This evocative image captures the essence of a remarkable woman, who, despite her noble heritage, embraced the modernity and vibrancy of Parisian life.
