| Museum quality 1790s miniature portrait of Russian Tsar Nicholas I (1777-1825) in young age by very famous Russian artist Nikolai Ivanovich Argunov (1771-1829). It is very rare to find works of N.I.Argunov in the private collections. On the miniature Nicholas I has the order of St.Andrew the Firstcalled and Maltese cross. Miniature is gouache, watercolor and pencils on parchment (pergament), framed in original bronze frame, signed middle right, framed size is 8"x 5" (20 x 13 cm). In the Pavlovsk palace at St.Petersburg is very similar portrait of Nicholas I executed in oil on canvas. You can see this portrait on my last photo in this listing. N.I.Argunov was court portrait painter. He was the son of the painter I.P.Argunov. He sometimes signed his work "Argunoff". N.I.Argunov was an academician. An exhibition of his work was held at the Ostankino Palace Museum in 1951. | |||||||
