EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of an Unknown Woman with Compass in her Hand (Praskovia Golitsyna?)" by Vladimir Lukich Borovikovsky, is a mesmerizing piece found in the esteemed collection of the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. The painting showcases a mysterious woman holding a compass delicately in her hand, hinting at her affiliation with masonry and neoclassicism. The subject's identity remains unknown, adding an air of intrigue to this fine art masterpiece. Some speculate that she may be Praskovia Golitsyna, while others believe it could be someone else entirely. Regardless, the artist's attention to detail and skillful brushstrokes bring this enigmatic figure to life. Borovikovsky's use of oil on canvas creates depth and texture within the composition. The woman's serene expression exudes confidence and intelligence as she gazes directly at the viewer.

It invites viewers to ponder upon themes such as secrecy, enlightenment, and intellectual pursuit. As we admire this remarkable artwork from afar, we are reminded of its historical significance and artistic brilliance. Borovikovsky masterfully captures both beauty and mystery within his portrayal of this unknown woman – forever preserving her intriguing story for generations
