“She’s a Grand Duchess from head to toe, so aristocratic and regal. Her face is pale matte, only the cheeks are slightly rosy, as if pink satin is trying to escape from just under her thin skin. Her profile is flawlessly beautiful, as if cut from marble by a great artist. The widely set eyes provide uniqueness and originality to her face. The nurse’s Red Cross kerchief is more flattering to her than to her sisters. She laughs more rarely than her sisters. Her face sometimes has a focused and stern expression. In those moments she looks like her mother. On the pale outlines of her face are the traces of deep thoughts and sometimes even sadness. Without any words I feel that she is special, different from her sisters, despite their common traits of kindness and friendliness. I feel hers—is a wholly secluded and unique world […]. If, as an artist, I wanted to paint a portrait of a Sister of Mercy as she would ideally appear, all I would have to do is paint a portrait of the Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna. I would not even have to paint it, but only to point to the photograph of her always hanging over my bed, and say, ‘That’s a nurse.’

- from the memoirs of Sofia Ofrosimova, who had been a nurse at the palace infirmary during World War I, on Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna of Russia. Translated by Helen Azar.

‘You kindly asked after the children & I enclose their last photos to give you an idea what they look like. Thank God Alexei has been keeping in much better health & has grown very much. He will be 10 this summer. I think you would love him […] He has such a tender heart - & bears pains so patiently - is very merry & clever’.

Photographs enclosed with a letter sent by Empress Alexandra to her aunt Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, 17/30 May 1914. (x)

~ ♡ The Two Tatiana’s ♡ ~

Tatiana Konstantinovna ~ 1890-1979

The 1st daughter of Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich, a third-cousin of Tsar Nicholas II. She was a very quiet child who reportedly had the talent for playing the piano. In 1911 she married Prince Bagration of Mukhrani who was serving in the Russian Imperial Guards and had two children (Teimuraz and Natalia) before he sadly perished in WWI. After this she escaped the revolution and eventually joined a nunnery before she died in 1979.

Tatiana Nikolaevna ~ 1897-1918

The second child of Tsar Nicholas II , Tatiana grew up surrounded in a close knit family who often took vacations to various places in Russia. She was a very well behaved child and was very studious and confident. She was known to be very beautiful and was often called “The Governess” by her 4 siblings for her organized ways. At the start of WWI she became a nurse and was very good in the operating rooms. During the revolution she was under house arrest with her family and eventually was executed by the Bolsheviks at the age of 21.

Russia! My astonished child's eyes see huge palaces, beautiful parks, fountains, gardens, amazing gatherings of relatives, military parades, religious services in churches glittering with gold, jewels so breathtaking you can hardly believe they are real [... ] My eyes also see long corridors, vestibules, and halls, of a size beyond compare, opening one into another, and our feet trotting timidly over wide stretches of floors, so unbounded and polished, that we seemed to walk on ice. And everywhere, a very characteristic smell: a mixture of turpentine, Russian leather and cigarette smoke, with a fragrance, unique in its own way, that distinguished the imperial palaces. Imperial is the right word, fantastic, like in fairy tales [...] every superlative is at its place in that Russia of the Tsars, that Russia full of splendour, which today is no more...

"The Swiss-born Gilliard arrived in Russia in 1904, aged 25, to teach French to Sergei, son of Duke George of Leuchtenberg and Princess Anastasia of Montenegro. George was a nephew of Amelia, second wife of the Brazilian Emperor Pedro I, and a cousin of Tsar Alexander III through his mother, Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna. The following year, the Duke appointed him to the imperial family, and Gilliard began to teach also to Olga and Tatiana, the eldest daughters of Nicholas. In 1909, he was dismissed by the Duke and began to devote himself only to the four girls, to whom Alexei joined in 1912. The following year, the Swiss became the tutor of the heir, responsible for everything on his education. This almost daily coexistence led the teacher to have an intimate impression of each one of the pupils. For him, Olga had a sharp mind and was witty and independent. Tatiana, tall and slender, more reserved and less spontaneous than her sister, was the most balanced and strong-willed -- in fact, her sisters called her "Governess" for her habit of giving orders. The beautiful Maria, with large bright eyes, called by her cousins "Maria's saucers," was so kind that her sisters often took advantage of her kindness. Anastasia was terrible. Cheerful, lively, with a sense of humor of her own, she was even stubborn and had a talent for acting."

𝚃𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚊𝚗𝚊'𝚜 𝚄𝚗𝚒𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚖 - 𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚓𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝙸𝚗𝚝𝚛𝚘𝚍𝚞𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗

This particular project will be a blend of two things - Grand Duchess Tatiana's Ulan uniform and a late Victorian walking suit [meaning the skirt will be changed from an asymmetrical riding habit skirt to an 1890s fan skirt, and the jacket will be cut to a curvier profile]. The patterns for the both the jacket and skirt will be entirely self-drafted based on the original photos shown above. Let's go over the materials: For the body of it, I chose a medium-heavy weight [450 gsm] English herringbone tweed in 'Dark Navy'. This totaled to 6 metres. The yellow front is also of tweed, but this time a plain weave and only 1/2 a metre. They are pictured below along with silver dome buttons and an antique fob necklace, because who doesn't need one of those. Additional materials such as trims for the collar and cuffs, as well as the belt, will be shared in a future post.

Photos are not mine [except for last one], I found them on Pinterest.

The Tsarevich and the Grand Duchesses

Little Alexis was a force of nature. There he is, trying to pull his sisters and the pony all on his own.

Portraits in pencil of the four daughters of the last Tsar of the Russian Empire, Nicholas II. I drew these as an exercise to see if I could replicate F.A. von Kaulbach’s style - and let me tell you it wasn’t easy! But so worth it in the end. ^_^ 1. Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna. (1895-1918) 2. Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna. (1897-1918) 3. Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna. (1899-1918) 4. Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna. (1901-1918) Collectively "OTMA." I hope those who follow me enjoy! Also, PLEASE credit me appropriately if you’d like to share/post these elsewhere. I take a lot of time with my artwork, thank-you! :) ________________________________________________________________ Please note: Originally posted to my regular Tumblr at: (https://artsyboy90.tumblr.com/) And also, if you’d like to follow me on Instagram, you can find me at: https://www.instagram.com/passion_thruart/
