Grand Duchess Olga (1882-1960)

Alexander III's youngest child and Tsar Nicholas II's little sister, Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna was born in 1882 when her father was already Tsar. She expressed a talent for drawing and painting at a young age and in later life often sold her works to raise money in aid of the charities she supported. A finely executed and characteristic watercolour, the present lot is a particularly large example of the artist's work.
