The sitter, born Tatiana Ivanovna Plestchev, was the wife of Prince Pavel Sergeievich Gagarine (1747-1789), Commander of the Moscow Kremlin. Their son Prince Pavel Pavlovich (1789-1872) was a prominent statement during the reign of Nicholas I.   Ritt recorded this portrait in his sitter's book for the years 1792-99, under no. 77 'La Princesse Gagarin de Moscau' (1793). He painted a second portrait of the Princess two years later, listed as no. 156 'La Psse Gagarin, tenant un petit chien.'
