ca. 1777 Grand Duchess Maria Feodorovna by Alexander Roslin (location unknown to gogm)
Maybe this work from around 1777 could be called Roslin's "blue portrait" of Maria Feodorovna to avoid confusion with the orange portrait from the same period.
The piled up coiffures of the 1770s, well-illustrated in this 1777 Roslin, would have made for problems given Maria Feodorovna's height. She was fond of ribbons and displaying her décolletage.
