The picture over the mantlepeice looks very much like the portrait of Zenaida Ivanova  reproduced in Lost Splendour.

That's really Zenaida Ivanovna's portrait painted in 1858 by a Frehcn artist.

Brian,
As usual, you come up with great and rare photographs! Thanks for sharing.

However, the palace in the very first photo is the Yusupov palace at 42 Liteyny prospekt, not a palace on the Fontanka.  I have some old B&W photos of it that I'll try to post.
