A very large and highly decorated gilt carved rococo frame, built during the first half of the 18th Century, made for important full-body portrait paintings. The picture inside can be replaced.
The original featured painting is the portrait of Catherine II, portrayed as "the Legislatress in the Temple of the Goddess of Justice", by Dmytro Levytsky. Catherine II of Russia (1729-1796) was Empress of Russia and the country's longest-ruling female leader. The period of her rule, the Catherinian Era, is considered the Golden Age of Russia: she continued Peter the Great's plan to moderinze the country along Western European lines while expanding it both militarily and diplomatically (winning against the Ottoman Empire, gaining large portions of land in the partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and establishing Colonial Alaska), she reformed the administration of the governorates and founded numerous cities, with the support of her noble favourites.
Dmytro Levytsky was a Russian-Ukrainian portrait painter, who became famous after the exhibition of some portraits in the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, eventually gaining there the position of professor of the portrait painting class.
