EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant and ornate photograph, Princess Olga Valerianovna Paley (1865-1929) is depicted in an opulent setting, seated in a plush armchair with her young son, Vladimir Pavlovich Paley (1897-1918), at her side. The Princess, who was the second wife of Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich of Russia (1860-1918), exudes an air of refined sophistication, dressed in an intricately designed gown and adorned with a fur shawl. The room, filled with rich colors and ornate patterns, reflects the grandeur and wealth of the Russian aristocracy during the late 19th century. Princess Olga Valerianovna was a member of the noble House of Demidov and was known for her beauty, intelligence, and charm. She married Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich in 1894, following the death of his first wife, Princess Alexandra of Oldenburg. Together, they had two children, Vladimir and Ksenia. The photograph captures a moment of tenderness and affection between mother and son. Vladimir Pavlovich, who was only one year old at the time, gazes up at his mother with a curious expression, while she looks down at him with a loving gaze. The image offers a glimpse into the private world of the Russian aristocracy, a world of opulence, wealth, and tradition. Despite the luxurious surroundings, the photograph also carries a sense of melancholy, as both Princess Olga Valerianovna and her son would tragically lose their lives during the Russian Revolution in 1918. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time of grandeur and elegance that would soon be shattered by the tumultuous events of the 20th century.
