Engelhardt: A Family of Elegance and Influence Vasily Vasilievich Engelhardt (1814-1868) was a man whose life left an indelible mark on history. In 1838, a portrait captured him as a child, holding onto his innocence with a playful ball in hand. Painted by Alexander Ivanovich Klunder (1802-1875), this artwork revealed the youthful spirit that would shape Engelhardt's future. Another masterpiece from Klunder depicted Vasily Vasilievich Engelhardt in 1839-1840. This painting showcased his maturing features, hinting at the strength and determination that lay within him. It was clear that he possessed qualities far beyond his years. The influence of the Engelhardt family extended beyond Vasily himself. Countess Tatyana Vasilyevna Yusupova, formerly von Engelhardt (1769-1841), radiated grace and sophistication in her portrait. Her noble lineage intertwined with the illustrious history of Russia, leaving an unforgettable legacy for generations to come. Similarly, Varvara Vasilyevna Golitsyna (nee von Engelhardt) (1757-1815) exuded elegance through her portrait painted in 1792. The brushstrokes captured her refined beauty and hinted at the stories she carried within her heart. Princess Varvara Golitsyna (nee von Engelhardt) (1752-1815), immortalized by Giovanni Battista Damon Ortolani after 1800s, stood as a testament to the enduring allure of the Englehardts' bloodline. Her regal presence spoke volumes about their impact on society during those times. Countess Yekaterina Skavronskaya nee von Engelhardt (1761-1829) had her likeness expertly rendered by Marie Louise Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun in 1796.
