Vincenzo Camuccini's portrait of Princess Alexandra A. Dietrichstein, nee Shuvalova, is a fine example of Neoclassical portraiture. The Princess is depicted in a relaxed pose, her elegant white dress and fur-trimmed shawl emphasizing her aristocratic status. Camuccini's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of her features and the sumptuous fabrics. The painting's composition is simple yet effective, highlighting the sitter against a backdrop of dark drapery and a glimpse of a distant landscape. This work, now housed in the Russian Museum, is a testament to Camuccini's skill as a portraitist and his ability to capture the essence of his subject.
