Thanks Sandra for extensive genalogical informations about your family...I think there are only a little known about noble families in Argentina in 19 and first half of 2th century...

There are two beautiful portraits of Olga, nee Dolgorouky, in property of family - maybe Sandra could post it...they are now exhibited in castle Mikulov...

You are lucky if you have seen them...I have read some time ago about the exhibition in Mikulov and about some portraits who came long way from Argentina just to be exhibited...seen from some newspaper articles!

Yes, I saw them. It´s maybe a small collection, but of excellent quality - painters as Carl Agricola, Philip de Laszlo, Quincey Adams etc.

How many informations on the Dietrichstein family! But I have still some questions.
I'm studying for my Ph.D an italian painter, Vincenzo Camuccini, and I know that I realized two portraits of the princess Alexandrine Dietrichstein and of her mother Princess Ekaterina Shuvalova.
The second one is the Ermitage's collection and the first one could be in Libochovice castle (I think in Boemia). I've phoned, but they speak only czech, so it's impossible to me to understand.
Where can I find some informations of the princess Dietrichstein? It seems that her family is in Argentina now, or not?
Camuccini realized some paintings for the princess Dietrichstein, that are actually in a palace in Wien, but I'm searching for some letters or an archive. He and the princess were very closed, they travelled in Munich and Paris together in 1810 and they lived in Rome at the same period.

You mean Alexandrine Dietrichstein (1824-1906), wife of Alexander Mensdorff-Pouilly (1813-71)?? It must be some mistake...

And a portrait of her older sister Countess Theresia von Dietrichstein-Proskau-Leslie,later Countess von Herberstein:

this portrait (paint in 1853) is now in Ptuj castle in Slovenia...

You are right,it is less likely to be that Alexandrine,but her grand-daughter Alexandrine,Countess von Küenburg(1894-1981)

Portrait of Count Franz Ludwig von Dietrichstein(1745-1797),from other Weichselstätt branch of the family...in fact he was the father of the last male member of that branch Count Johann Douglas who died in 1861...
