From Lada Nikolenko's List of Russian portraits (entry 48) - "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's assassins." 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. Vigée Le Brun's Home Page | Index to Art Pages | Vigée Le Brun's Gallery
