A full-length portrait of Nicholas I of Russia in 1802. By Pietro Labruzzi.

The bust on the right of the image is inscribed with ‘Alexander the first, of all of the Russian Empire’, referring to Nicholas’ elder brother Alexander I (Emperor of Russia 1801-1825).

Dressed in traditional Greek dress, Nicholas wears Greece’s blue and white national colours. His type of trousers, gilet and slippers were likely commissioned to commemorate the establishment of the oligarchic Septinsular Republic under nominal Russian and Ottoman sovereignty in the Ionian Islands in 1800.

François Gérard (1770-1837), Portrait de Charles Ferdinand Théodore de Vassinhac d'Imécourt, 1808, oil on canvas

Portrait displays a Napoleonic officer who died at the Siege of Danzig (1807) during the War of the 4th Coalition. According to Philippe Dufour, “The male portrait rarely reached such a peak of elegance as under the First Empire”. This portrait sold for €1,472,000 in 2022.

Born on July 16, 1785 in Paris, Ferdinand d'Imécourt was the youngest of three children. Volunteering at the age of twenty in 1805 for the Dutch campaign, Ferdinand d'Imécourt experienced a rapid and promising advancement. In 1807, he was Marshal Lefebvre's orderly and died prematurely on April 13, 1807 during the siege of Danzig. He is buried in the southern part of the cathedral of Oliwa (about 12 km from Danzig), where a Latin stele still stands mentioning him. This was one of the last burials inside a church, since the Napoleonic code in force in the Grand Duchy of Warsaw prohibited this practice. During the siege of Danzig, the cathedral of Oliwa served as a field hospital for the French army. Wounded during a sortie at nine o'clock in the evening, he died at six o'clock in the morning at the age of twenty-one years and nine months.
