This photograph was taken in the apartments of Grand Duchess Elizaveta Mavrikievna, wife of Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich (1858-1915), the Romanov family poet known as “KR”. Known to the extended Romanov family as “Aunt Mavra”, Elizaveta Mavrikievna lived out her last years (1922-1927) in exile in this Oldenburg castle.
On the wall of her room you can see a portrait of her husband, a drawing of the Madonna and Child (Elizaveta Mavrikievna did not convert to Orthodoxy and remained Lutheran), photographs of her children who were murdered by Bolsheviks in Alapayevsk.
