PRINCE PAUL TROUBETZKOY | YOUNG LADY STANDING

Prince Paul Troubetzkoy was uniquely placed to capture the glittering world of the international elite at the turn of the nineteenth to twentieth centuries. His father was an aristocratic Russian diplomat, his mother an American opera singer. He was born at Lake Maggiore in Italy and he spent his professional life between Moscow, Paris and New York. His social status and artistic accomplishments made him a celebrity in his own right.

This figure of an unknown woman with au courant hair style and dress, is likely to be a portrait of a member of high society.
