As far as I understand it, a monogram - a large cipher graduate of Smolny. Studded with portraits of some of the Empress, such forms of awards there . Several strange that the blue ribbon , but I can see the images on plain strips of ciphers , and maybe tape to the portrait.
The lady can not be maid of honor because of their age , with which were unmarried girls . It is not excluded , of course, that it may be chamber- maid of honor or state -queen. But the maid of honor at the Imperial. Catherine , I do not believe. Date or you can beg. 19, or 1860- E . Unless, of course , it's a real portrait and not a modern thistle .
P.S. And the collar is extremely strange .
