專家說明
Maria Hilarionovna Worontsov-Dachkova was the grand-daughter of the last Viceroy of the Caucasus. In 1922 she married Prince Nikita Alexandrovich of Russia.
Nikolai Bekker was not an internationally renowned artist but he enjoyed popularity among the aristocratic society of St Petersburg for his refined portraits (Portrait of Prince F. F. Yusupov, illustrated in Nicholas and Alexandra, London, 1998, p. 30). He continued to pursue his artistic career during the Civil War, during which he painted portraits, like the present lot, and depicted the leaders of the White armies such as the Cossack General Chkuro (Private Collection, London).
