Portret van Nicolaas II Aleksandrovitsj, tsaar van Rusland 1885 - 1900

This is a portrait of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, created sometime between 1885 and 1900 by an anonymous artist. The photograph shows the young Tsar in a military uniform, and is a fine example of portrait photography from the late 19th century. This photo is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The portrait of the Tsar is an oval-shaped photograph mounted in a rectangular frame. The Tsar's face is framed by a dark oval which is reminiscent of a miniature portrait. It is a small, intimate work that captures the Tsar's likeness in detail, and is a significant example of the historical role of portraiture within Russia.
