Property from a Private European Collection.

The present work is a copy after the portrait of Alexey Petrovich Bestuzhev-Ryumin (1693-1766) by an anonymous hand which is now in the collection of the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg [ЭРЖ-777 ]. Bestuzhev-Ryumin was a prominent figure in 18th-century European diplomacy, effectively directing Russian foreign policy whilst serving as Chancellor under Empress Elizabeth of Russia (1709-1762).
