Maria photos III

[nena]

That one is pretty awesome! Tnx, Ally! Hmm, was it taken in 1912 or in 1911?

[Ally Kumari]

I would say 1910. I think the children are dressed for the famous photoshoot.

I don't think they are dressed for the famous photoshoot--in the new photo, the necklines of OTMA's dresses are much higher.  I'm pretty sure, anyway

[Ally Kumari]

You are right! I did not notice the necklines. However I would still say it is the same day... (?) The shoes Olga and Tatiana wear are the same, plus all the girls have hair styled... perhaps it was not the same photoshoot....

after a while and another thought: It may be 1911. The hair of the girls look extremely similar to their 1911 shoot in formal wear with kokoshniki....

1910 is also good thought. 1911 also would be an optimal answer. ;-)

One of my favourite new rares. I just wish there were more photos available from the days when Alexandra and the girls visited hospitals more formally like this and not as part of their everyday work. Usually there's the carefully posed group photo and nothing else.

Any idea who the other two people are?

Ann

[Udutar]

Could the woman be Olga Byutsova, lady-in-waiting to the empress?

[Sarushka]

Could the woman be Olga Byutsova, lady-in-waiting to the empress?

Yes, it is.
