Portrait of Alexey V. Voyeykov 1825

This portrait of Alexey V. Voyeykov was painted in 1825 by George Dawe, an English artist known for his portraits of Russian nobility. Dawe, who was active in Russia between 1819 and 1829, captured the subject’s likeness in a realistic manner, highlighting his military uniform and medals. The detail on the subject’s uniform, particularly the gold braid, reveals Dawe’s keen attention to detail and his ability to capture the intricacies of his subject's attire. This painting, measuring 70 x 62.5 cm, provides a glimpse into the life and status of a high-ranking Russian official during the early 19th century.
