Count Alexander Ivanovich Sollogoub (1788–1844) 1810

Domenico Bossi's miniature portrait of Count Alexander Ivanovich Sollogoub, painted in 1810, depicts the count in a formal pose, wearing a dark coat and a white cravat. The miniature, housed in an oval frame with a suspension ring, is a fine example of the popularity of portrait miniatures in the early 19th century. These small, intimate works were often commissioned as personal keepsakes for loved ones.
