Countess Ecaterina Vladimirovna Apraxine, nee Princess Galitzine (1768 - 1854) was the sister in law of another famous sitter of Vigée Le Brun, Princess Eudocina Ivanovna Galitsin and (Art Page 9). We have large painting of the sitter that the artist listed in her memoirs on Art Page 117. Neil Jeffares, Dictionary of Pastellists Before 1800 (Unicorn Press 2006), lists a pastel bust of this sitter by Vigee LeBrun. We think this is the pastel of he same sitter.View a picture of the framed pastel.

Count Alexey Grigorievich Orlov-Tchesmensky (1734-1808). From Lada Nikolenko's List of Russian portraits (entry 47) - "Famous champion of Catherine the Great. Painted in St. Petersburg (or Moscow),between 1795 and 1801. Not listed by the artist, but mentioned in the Memoirs as "the notorious Count Orloff, one of Peter the Third'sassassins." He came to see the young, but already famous artist in Paris in 1770s, and amazed her by his stature of a giant. Lada Nikolenko's paper on the "Russian portraits of Madame Vigee Le Brun" refers to the other Orlov portrait (Art Page 117) as the primary portrait (oval) and to this one as the copy. The count is dressed diferently in each version. The present location of both paintings are unknown.
