ANDREI MATVEEV: PORTRAIT OF PRINCESS A. P. GOLITSYNA (1184 words)
In 1728 Matveev painted this Baroque portrait of princess Anastasiia Golitsyna, the wife of I. Golitsyn and a lady-in-waiting of the Empress Catherine I, the wife of Peter the Great.

Matveev uses the white highlights on the hair framing Golitsyna's face to create the illusion of the curls and show the direction of the light source.
