Portrait of A. G. and A. A. Lobanov-Rostovsky (1814). Vladimir Borovikovsky (Russian, 1757-1825). Oil on canvas. Russian Museum, St. Petersburg.

In 1795 Borovikovsky became a member of the St Petersburg Academy of Arts; he was also closely connected with many of the chief exponents of Russian culture in the city. His sitters included members of the imperial family, courtiers, generals, many aristocrats and figures from the Russian artistic and literary worlds. Most of his portraits are intimate in style.

The Cello Player. Franz Xaver Wölf or Wölfl (Austrian 1896-1990). Oil on panel.

Wölfl’s subjects include still lifes, landscapes and figurative genre scenes. His paintings are vibrant, responding wonderfully to the intensity of light and atmosphere. With his interiors he became the perfect recorder of that glorious period in which the well-to-do British Society of the 18th century dressed richly.
