Portrait of Ivan A. (Johann Georg) Von Lieven 1825

"Portrait of Ivan A. (Johann Georg) Von Lieven," painted in 1825 by George Dawe, is a fine example of portraiture from the early 19th century. Dawe, born in 1781, was a British painter who spent much of his career in Russia, where he became known for his portraits of prominent figures. This particular portrait shows Von Lieven, a Russian military officer, in his uniform adorned with medals and decorations. The painting is a striking example of the artist's meticulous attention to detail, capturing the subject's likeness and the richness of his attire. The portrait is now in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, a testament to its significance in Russian art history.
