I have long believed that this portrait by K.F. Sohn, identified by the Hermitage Museum as Grand Duchess Maria Mikhailovna of Russia, is in fact Maria’s younger sister, Grand Duchess Elizaveta Mikhailovna, Duchess of Nassau, but seeing it displayed so prominently in a palace belonging to the grand ducal family of Luxembourg (who are descendants of Elizaveta’s widower, Adolphe, Duke of Nassau) has convinced me that my hunch was correct. What do you all think?
