This “veiling” of the collection hampers research. World renown treasure-museum – the Armory in the Moscow Kremlin a significant collection of art miniatures. This collection preserves a number of high value works by Russian and foreign masters. With all the wide range of miniatures exhibited in the Kremlin collection one callers for a particular interest “a lady’s profile” miniature painted with an exquisite mastership by Anselm Lagrenee. We must admit that the craftsmanship of the French artist who per formed this image on the ivory plate imitating of glyptics in water-colours, is a work to admire. Artist Anselm Francois Lagrenee (1774–1832) worked in Russian empire in 1817–1825 and was known as miniature master. Count Mikhail Vorontsov and his spouse Elisabeth tend to order their portraits with Western-European masters. Comparing the photo of the sculptured portrait of Countess Elisabeth Ksaverievna Vorontsova, accomplished by Denis Foyatier in Paris in 1821, with “portrait of a Lady” (fig. 1) by Anselm Francois Lagrenee from the collection of the Armoury in the Moscow Kremlin we take it for granted, that they both depict one and the same face. E. K. Vorontsova (1792–1880), maiden name Branitskaya, was born is Belaya Tserkov in 1792. Her mother Alexandra Vasilievna Branitskaya (nee Engelgard) was the niece of Gregory Potemkin, Prince of Tauriya. Shi was Caterina II’s lady-in-waiting. The town of Belaya Tserkov was property of Branitski family as 127 other estates. Her father – Hetman Francisk-Ksaveriy Branitski was a rich landowner.
