The canvas “The Portrait of Catherine II in a Road Suit” is remarkable in that it depicts the aging Empress during her journey to the Tauride land. According to legend, the reigning person was written in Kiev.
The portrait of M. Shibanov became so popular that one of his variants, written by the artist, was sent to London as a gift to the English royal family.
