Princess Maria Grigoryevna Rayevskaya, née Gagarina (Портрет Марии Григорьевны Раевской, урожденной княжны Гагариной ) was the daughter of Grigory Grigoryevich Gagarin and Sophia Andreyevna, née Dashkova. She married Mikhail Nikolayevich Rayevsky. Before this painting, she was a maid-of-honour at the imperial court in 1869 as well as a member of the Order of St. Catherine. In this formal elegant portrait, the princess stands in front of a muted brown and green outdoor setting as she looks directly at us in a stunning hip-hugging purple velvet and satin dress with gold lace ruffles and trim around the neckline and sleeves. On her right hand, with a gold ring and gold bracelet, rests in front of her she loosely holds the tip of a folded fancy gold fan. Her dark brown coiffed hair, with a small gold floral hairpiece, is tight in an updo that lets her beauty and face appear unblemished. Ivan Kuzmich Makarov (Ива́н Кузьми́ч Мака́ров) was a Russian portrait painter who studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg under famous historical painter Alexey Markov. He chose portraiture as his speciality, eventually winning the patronage of the Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna.
