Portraits of Romanovs (and Relations) by Nicholas Panagiotti Zarokilli

Nicholas Pannagiottis Zarokilli was born in Turkey in 1879. He was a painter particularly fond of creating pictures of beautiful women. From 1912 to 1920, Zarokilli produced paintings for publications like MoToR, Modern Priscilla, Women’s Home Companion, The Green Book, McCall’s, and The Saturday Evening Post.

He also designed World War I posters. The United States needed money for the war, so the artist created posters to try and encourage people to give for the cause.

Zarokilli was known well for his dry-point paintings. Drypoint is a printmaking technique of the intaglio family, in which an image is incised into a plate or "matrix" with a hard-pointed "needle" of sharp metal or diamond point. In principle, the method is practically identical to engraving.

He painted portraits for people such as the Queen of Spain, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Grand Duchess Anastasia, the King of Portugal, and Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Guggenheim. Landscapes were also his love, painting the cities of Venice, Madrid, and Seville.

The following is his rendering of several members of the Romanov family (and other relations.) I have seen some of these here and there before (several of you have them in your Tumblrs and always admired them; I think he captures the likenesses admirably. I found the ones here together and identified on the British Museum website (they were done between 1920 and 1922.)

These are the names of the easily recognizable "personages" in the paintings in the order they appear below:

Prince Felix Yusupof (wearing a suit)

Prince Felix Yusupof (head)

Princess Irina Alexandrovna

Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich (sitting)

Grand Duke Alexander Mikhailovich (bust)

Prince Andrei Alexandrovich

Prince Feodor Alexandrovich

Grand Duchess Anastasia Mikhailovna

Grand Duke Kyril Vladimirovich

Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna the Younger

Queen Marie of Romania (born Princess Marie Alexandra Victoria of Edinburgh) - Granddaughter of Queen Victoria

Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain (born Princess Victoria Eugenie Julia Ena of Battenberg (youngest granddaughter of Queen Victoria, Hessian Princess through the morganatic Battenberg line)

OTMA's personalities according to Colonel Evgeny Stepanovich Kobylinsky

Kobylinsky is a fascinating inividual, here is a short summary of his life: Colonel Kobylinsky was employed by the Provisional Government and oversaw the Romanovs during their captivity in the Alexander Palace and Tobolsk. He was eventually replaced due to being viewed as not strict enough, and enabling their desires for activity and entertainment. Unusually, he went on to join the White Army in 1918, until he was captured and sent to a concentration camp. In order to escape the camp, he traded his freedom for a position in the Red Army. He eventually married Klavdia Mikhailovna Bitner, friend and tutor to OTMAA. Together they had one son. In 1927 he was accused of being part of a 'monarchical conspiracy' against the Soviet State and was executed by firing squad. Bitner was also arrested under a similar charge ten years later, and executed. Their son, Innokenty Evgenievich, was orphaned aged seventeen. He was drafted into the Red Army, and fought against the Nazi invasion.

"The Grand Duchess Olga was a nice looking young blonde, about twenty-three; her type was Russian. She was fond of reading, capable and mentally well developed; spoke English well and German badly. She had some talent for art, played the piano, sang, (she learned singing in Petrograd; her voice was soprano), and she painted well. She was very modest and did not care for luxury.

Her clothes were modest and she restrained her sisters from extravagance in dress. She gave altogether the impression of a good, generous-hearted Russian girl. It looked as if she had had some sorrows in her life and still carried traces of it. It seemed to me that she loved her father more than she loved her mother. She also loved her brother, and called him "The Little One" or "The Baby.

The Grand Duchess Tatiana was about twenty. She was quite different from her sisters. You recognised in her the same features that were in her mother — the same nature and the same character. You felt that she was the daughter of an emperor. She had no liking for art. Maybe it would have been better for her had she been a man. When the emperor and empress left Tobolsk nobody would ever have thought that the Grand Duchess Olga was the senior of the remaining members of the imperial family. If any questions arose it was always Tatiana who was appealed to. She was nearer to her mother than the other children; and it seemed that she loved her mother more than her father.

The Grand Duchess Maria was eighteen ; she was tall, strong, and better looking than the other sisters. She painted well and was the most amiable. She always used to speak to the soldiers, questioned them, and knew very well the names of their wives, the number of their children, and the amount of land owned by the soldiers. All the intimate affairs in such cases were always known to her. Like the Grand Duchess Olga, she loved her father more than the rest. On account of her simplicity and affability she was given the pet name by the family of "Mashka." And by this term she was called by her brother and by her sisters.

The Grand Duchess Anastasia, I believe, was seventeen. She was over-developed for her age; she was stout and short, too stout for her height; her characteristic feature was to see the weak points of other people and to make fun of them. She was a comedian by nature and always made everybody laugh. She preferred her father to her mother and loved Maria Nicholevna more than the other sisters.

All of them, including Tatiana, were nice, modest and innocent girls. There is no doubt they were cleaner in their thoughts than the majority of girls nowadays.

The czarevitch was the idol of the whole family. He was only a child and his characteristic features were not yet worked out. He was a very clever, capable and lively boy. He spoke Russian, French and English, and did not know a word of German.

In general, I could say about the whole imperial family that they all loved each other and were so satisfied with their family life that they did not need nor look for intercourse with other people. Never before in my life have I seen, and probably never again shall I see, such a good, friendly and agreeable family."

GODPARENTS OF GRAND DUCHESS ELENA VLADIMIROVNA

Grand Duchess Elena Vladimirovna, the youngest child and only daughter of Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich of Russia and his German-born wife Grand Duchess Maria Pavlova (née Duchess of Mecklenburg-Schwerin), was born on 29 January (O.S. 17) 1882 in Saint Petersburg. She was christened on 12 March in the Grand Palace Church of Catherine Palace, Tsarskoe Selo. Her godparents were:

ALEXANDER III, EMPEROR OF RUSSIA - her paternal uncle, who had succeeded the Russian throne just a year prior, was named as one of her godparents. He was highly reactionary in domestic affairs and reversed some of the liberal reforms of his father, Alexander II. He was present at his niece's christening.

FREDERICK FRANCIS II, GRAND DUKE OF MECKLENBURG-SCHWERIN - her maternal grandfather was another of her godparents. A Romanov by descent (being a great-grandson of Tsar Paul), he held the rank of Prussian general and was also a Russian General Field Marshal.

MARIE, GRAND DUCHESS CONSORT OF MECKLENBURG-SCHWERIN - her step-grandmother was also named as her godparent. The third wife of Frederick Francis II, whose marriage produced four children, including Prince Hendrik, consort of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands and father of Queen Juliana.

GRAND DUCHESS CATHERINE MIKHAILOVNA OF RUSSIA - A first cousin of her grandfather, Catherine was one of the two godparents present at her christening. She was the wife of Duke Georg August of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, and a great philanthropist and many of the organisations she supported and helped to create still operate today.

ALEXANDRINE, GRAND DUCHESS OF MECKLENBURG-SCHWERIN - her maternal great-grandmother, a Prussian-born princess was also her godparent. She was a sister of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna-consort of Nicholas I-who was Elena's great-grandmother on her father’s side. In 1822, she married Paul Frederick, Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin (himself, a grandson of Russian Tsar Paul). Their marriage was generally considered unhappy, he was a military man who had little time for or interest in his wife and family. Alexandrine, by contrast, was a devoted mother who tenderly raised her children and actively cultivated their cultural pursuits.

who do you think olga and anastasia would've married if they had the chance to? tatiana would've married alexander of yugoslavia, since they were madly in love and maria would've married louis.

Olga wanted to 'remain Russian' so she didn't have a ton of options, but one of the Konstantinovichi boys would work. Prince Konstantin apparently asked to marry her at one point, so he might be the option with the most basis in history. Otherwise Prince Roman Petrovich or maaaaaybe Vladimir Paley if his parents' morganatic marriage wasn't held against him. I suppose if he was 'Romanov enough' to be killed in the revolution he might be 'Romanov enough' to marry a Grand Duchess.

I could see Anastasia never marrying, honestly. She might like being the quirky, independent aunt and not tied down to any husband or throne. But there was a rumor that Queen Alexandrine of Denmark (daughter of Grand Duchess Anastasia Mikhailovna), hoped that her son Frederick would marry one of the younger grand duchesses. She might be thrilled to have a daughter-in-law who had the same name as her mother, and Maria Feodorovna would love to see a granddaughter on the throne of Denmark. Frederick was very tall though so Anastasia might hate that, haha. And the rumor could be totally made up, it's from a very gossipy source.

There's some evidence that Alexander wanted to marry Tatiana, but is there anything to suggest she wanted to marry him? I've never seen anything from her end that the feelings were mutual. Rather she had her 'crushes' like Dmitri Malama and Vladimir Kiknadze. That doesn't mean she wouldn't have married Alexander--she was the most duty-conscious of the sisters and would make an excellent queen. I just don't think we can say she was in love with him.

Unpopular opinion but I don't think Maria actually would have married Louis Mountbatten. Sure, HE said he was 'determined to marry her,' but they were first cousins and first cousin marriages are not allowed in the Russian Orthodox Church, and Nicholas II didn't approve them. Nicholas' brother Misha wanted to marry their cousin Princess Beatrice of Edinburgh/Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and Nicholas refused to allow it. He was furious when Kirill married Ducky, a first cousin and divorcee. I just don't see Nicholas allowing them to marry; it was a religious thing, not just his personal opinion, and that's harder to overcome. I honestly think he'd be more likely to allow her to marry a noble or officer than a first cousin, as he DID allow that for Tatiana Konstantinovna, Irina Alexandrovna, and Olga Alexandrovna. And like with Tatiana and Alexander, I've never seen anything about Maria's feelings for Dickie. I have a hard time seeing her wanting to leave Russia--like Olga, she made it clear her dream was to marry a Russian.

Omg, and all this time I thought there was just the one fringe tiara and fringe necklace in the BRF.... Are fringe tiaras particularly common amongst royal or aristo families?

Fringes are a common type of tiara and the British Royal Family has more than any other current royal family. Of course the Russians had way more back in the day because the style originates from Russia and nearly every woman in the imperial family had one. The first fringe was supposedly made for Empress Alexandra Feodorovna (Charlotte of Prussia not Alix of Hesse) but I don’t know how accurate that is. Here she is wearing it as a necklace in 1826 for her coronation portrait.

And now for a feast of Russian fringes...

Top row: Maria Feodorovna, Maria Alexandrovna, Vera Konstantinovna

Middle row: Maria Pavlovna, Anastasia Mikhailovna, Alexandra Georgievna

Bottom row: Alexandra Feodorovna, Xenia Alexandrovna, Olga Alexandrovna

They often wore them attached to a fabric kokoshnik. You can see all of the fringe tiaras I’ve covered here.
