Bust of G. G. Orlova by Fedot Shubin

Creating a gallery of portraits of his contemporaries, Shubin was based on a realistic approach to reality. With the Orlov brothers, he was personally acquainted, perhaps with great insight he was able to reveal the essence of the character of Grigory Orlov.

The parade of the image is emphasized by carefully elaborated accessories, which do not distract attention from the face, almost feminine, clouded by the haze of sadness. A beautiful face, with a slight fold of concern between the eyebrows and a remarkably revealed game of muscles around a well-defined mouth, produces a complex impression. The nobility of the image is combined with lethargy of character.

The portrait was created in the period when the favorite star was already at sunset, but the fate of it was not yet decided. Grigory Grigoryevich Orlov – military and statesman. The favorite of Catherine II, a member of the palace coup in 1762, the general – anshef, The Serene Highness. The initiator of the creation in 1765 of the Free Economic Society and its first president.
