At the exhibition "1917 Romanovs & Revolution" in the Hermitage in Amsterdam, it is sometimes worth to watch the visitors aswell.
This family had asked another visitor to make a photo of them in front of the portrait of Tsar Nicolas II. They seemed foreign to me, from Russia?
And looking at the result.
Maybe a distant relative of the Tsar Marianne ☺
BeantwoordenVerwijderenMy first thought was, are they relatives of the Tsar? Or maybe the artist?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI would enjoy that exhibit!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenYes, my guess would be Russians too.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI'm sure there is a connection. It is a beautiful portrait.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAnd the guy in the portrait could easily have been part of the conversation.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIf they were Russian, I can see why hey'd want the photo taken. They look pretty happy about it.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNice to do some people watching too.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe painting is very formal. Seems like quite an occasion!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe czar was a bastard to my people which is why they came to America. He is remembered as a bad guy
