Original Description
Dmitry Levitsky's Portrait of the Princesses Davidova and Rzevskaja (c. 1779) captivates viewers with its delicate balance of Rococo elegance and emerging Neoclassical restraint. The painting depicts two young aristocrats in sumptuous silk gowns, their poised yet lively expressions reflecting both aristocratic refinement and youthful charm. Levitsky, a master of Russian portrait painting, excels in rendering textures—lustrous fabrics, intricate lace, and softly glowing skin—while infusing the scene with warmth and intimacy. Commissioned during Catherine the Great's reign, the work embodies the Enlightenment-era ideal of educated nobility, showcasing refined taste and cultivated grace. As one of Levitsky’s finest double portraits, it holds significant art-historical value, bridging Western European influences with distinctly Russian character—a hallmark of 18th-century Imperial court portraiture.
For interior styling, this masterpiece deserves a setting that complements its refined grace. A gold-leaf frame would enhance its warm palette while adding traditional sophistication—ideal for a formal living room or study. Position it as a focal point on a neutral-toned wall (soft grey or creamy beige) to let the princesses' coral and ivory gowns shine. Its intimate scale (approx. 60 x 75 cm) suits above a mantelpiece or between bookshelves, paired with Rococo-inspired furnishings like curved-leg consoles or velvet upholstery in muted blues or pinks to echo the background. In offices, it lends prestige to executive spaces; balance its opulence with minimalist décor for a timeless contrast. Avoid harsh lighting—opt for directional spotlights to emulate the painting’s soft luminosity and preserve its 18th-century ambiance.
