1772 Catherine II dressed to go out by Vigilius Ericksen (location unknown to gogm)

The Hermitage has a nineteenth century copy.

Catherine II is dressed casually, but with many pearls. She wears a fur-trimmed pink satin vest, a Russian cold weather garment. She also wears a jeweled Russian kokoshnik cap with a snood drooping down over her right shoulder.
