Lot 1255, evidently a portrait of John Antonovich (aka Emperor John III, he's the Emperor Ivan /John VI) with the artificial addition of age.
PS I decided, nevertheless, do not rely on physical resemblance to check for Literature Cavaliers. Order of St. Andrew's was granted the fairly minor, but here the Order of St.. Anna gives a different result.
There were only two people had two orders in the low age:
1. Carl-Peter Ulrich, Crown Prince /reigning duke of Holstein-Gottorp, later Emperor Peter III.
2. Pavel Petrovich, Grand Duke and Tsarevich, later Emperor Paul I.
In my view, both characters do not look like child's portrait. Pavel Petrovich's some similarities there, but, rather, because of the knowledge that this could be it.
I would have recognized this portrait doubtful.
