The print showcases the architectural masterpiece that was once the residence of Saint Petersburg Governor General Alexander Menshikov. The palace, located on Vasilievsky Island in St. Petersburg, stands as a testament to the Petrine Baroque style with its intricate facade and neoclassical elements.
