EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegance and sophistication of Daria (Dorothea) Princess Lieven (1784-1857), the Russian ambassador's wife to Paris, who was a prominent figure in European high society during the 19th century. Born into the German noble family von Benkendorff, Daria was married to Karl Robert von Lieven, who served as the Russian ambassador to France from 1825 to 1842. Daria's social connections extended beyond her husband's diplomatic role, as she was a close friend of notable European statesmen and political figures such as the Duke of Wellington, Prince Metternich, and François Guizot. Her salon in Paris was a gathering place for the intellectual and political elite, where lively discussions and debates on European politics and culture took place. The image of Daria, dressed in the height of fashionable attire, exudes a sense of refinement and poise. Her piercing gaze and expressive features convey a strong and intelligent personality. The intricate detail of her hairstyle and the delicate fabric of her dress speak to the opulence and extravagance of the time. This portrait is a testament to the enduring legacy of Daria Princess Lieven as a significant historical figure in European history. Her influence on diplomacy, society, and culture during the 19th century continues to be studied and admired by historians and scholars today.
