This is what we all already know. In Vikiipedii and other sites much information about it.

We have deciphered what is written on the back of the picture,
It says that the painting was commissioned by her husband Andreas Magnus Otto von Loewenstern for Elizabeth Decanters Manteylfel (full name Anna Johanna von Manteylfel)
Lowenstern (German von Loewenstern) - Livonia barons and noble family.

They still do not meet.

It is logical.
Usual story - do not rush to buy the descendants of the portraits of his ancestors, especially for big money.

More often than not, themselves happy to sell.
