A good selection of portraits.
 
But with the signature I did not understand

So they do not go :)> Look at the court of the artist with the initials VW
or W.V.

zampolit, of course, this portrait was written after the death of the Emperor, evidently copied from a famous portrait.
It happens.

We must look for the original.

Thank you, Yuri.

But the original can not be a pencil drawing of Saint - Aubin (Fig. 1)?
 Next on the site, prompted by Us-tin ' th , it was reported that And are two portraits of Saint- Aubin original . If you liked the original so engravers and was so popular , I could not if I take it and watercolors ?

Incidentally , the same and the original oil portrait of Saint - Aubin is reduced. Well, we are more interested in graphics :)>

I think that this is the original . It is hoped that interest zampolit ' and this portrait was painted in Russia :)> ... And then suddenly someone in Germany or France has decided to draw the unforgettable memory of the emperor? Then, without Amateur ' and just do not find it.

1 - Emperor Alexander I. After 1808. Saint -Aubin .
2 The Emperor Alexander I. After 1808. Schiavonetti from the original Saint - Aubin .
3 The Emperor Alexander I. After 1808. Mansveld from the original Saint - Aubin . Borodino Panorama .
4 " Our" Portrait

Allena, you're absolutely right!

zampolit, my destination, which sent a question about this portrait was very categorical.

Even I will not give here the lines of his letter.

Sorry!

Given previous research , the words " the court " take back :)>

Uriart, probably the flatness of your colleague refers to the quality of the portrait ? Well, then do not worry and regret , perhaps, about this: most likely , the portrait is not original , and written with the figure or , perhaps, from an engraving of this picture , and even 10 years after the death of the Emperor . Perhaps the artist lover , who was not lazy and worked diligently as I could, moire ribbon. But the monogram What a swell! :)>

In general, it is interesting here is not even anyone to draw, and why ? Alexander was extremely popular in Russia and in Europe, so perhaps this is an echo of his popularity, and maybe even some personal memories of some ladies, for example ... :)>
