Note du spécialiste

Mrs Edla Nobel (1848-1921) née Collin was the second wife of Ludvig Nobel (1831-1888).

Vasilii I. Zuev (1870-1917) replaced Johaness Zehngraf as a chief miniature painter for the Imperial court. Between 1908-1917 he worked for the firm of Fabergé producing miniature portraits of members of the Royal family on enamel and ivory.
