Hard-working was.
Question - how to treat it work? As for painting, or as objects of Russian tsars.

If in doubt, just ... Treat as a woman who loves to draw.

To me, the painting and watercolor OA have historical value more than fiction. Still, the younger sister of the last Emperor. In Denmark, where she lived until the 48-year auctions a lot of her pictures and personal belongings. Buy.

Cyril Syzransky, fully support your point of view! As for me, nothing special in her paintings there. Simply attaches importance to the prefix "princess". At our auctions, it always pops up and a decent amount. Like to buy ...

Cyril! And at what scale of values to determine the creativity of man, if he
from simple labor naroda.Naprimer, simple seamstress and she's a good artist,

we are with you acquire a comfortable trousers and sewed them successfully?
  L.N.Tolstoy-graf.No this title for the national consciousness of importance,
in relation to him had not, as has been and will be honored as the great Russian writer.

antip, I mean seamstress and Tolstoy did not understand, sorry.
I wrote to the princess-images of historical importance, because is of the Romanovs, the daughter of Alexander III. A watercolor of the same level, but drawn as a seamstress, and such values will not have, in my opinion.

In seamstresses could hardly be a famous artist-teachers as a princess, and she was a talented student of Zhukovsky, etc.

Soundly harvested hut where your great-grandfather's skillful weaving shoes, no less historically valuable than manor wing, where the king-father eight times a day regaled with tea.
Servility and worship of titles-our eternal national nedug.Stenka, Emelya! Where will you have gone.
We Garin-Mikhailovsky is an essay where he writes about some noble princess, who stole the eggs in poultry houses of the peasants.

  antip, so no house, no wings no more ...

This is not me ...

antip you somewhere in the wrong suffered steppe. Any antiques involved, or to an event or a famous person always rises in price. What do you mean rank and servility to rank?

Wing left, as well as household living tam.A here huts remained, as
people who lived and living tam.I here he is, Kirill here in his native land, zhivehonek
and zdorovehonek, grandfather and cottage sberezhennyy.Eto it not event, Constantine?

The princess - the wife of the prince.

Olga lived a life that even if the truth is at least half of what is written about her - and it is, and respect, and amazement. After all, through what she had to go, to keep these bright colors and cheerful motifs - it is worth a lot (not in dollars, and another ...). Of course, not masterpieces, but, IMHO, historical and, if I may say so, the human value of an absolute must.

I advise you to read memoirs, but not something that someone about someone wrote:
"Olga Alexandrovna. Memoirs" ( "Last Grand Duchess"), Zakharov -2003.
antip, certainly imperial wing will be many times more valuable Rastak hut, because He always made the most famous and talented architect of his time and is not of historical interest, as the hut, and "cultural value" in terms of art, rather than cultural studies.

And everything that belongs to the royal family, has no relation to chinopochetaniyu, because the Grand Duchess - is not the princess, etc. King, Grand Duke - it is not even the highest aristocracy, all the same, the Tsar of Russia from ancient times worshiped as God's representative on earth. And it is particularly revered by your builders and keepers cottages.

Thank you. (In parenthesis, I note that in other memoirs, her name is mentioned, too ...:))
