Juxtaposing those photos of Alix and Anastasia at similar ages really highlights the resemblance between them. Anastasia definitely took after her mother, but I don't think she would have been as pretty a girl.

Abby, I think when Anastasia was very little she looked more like Nicholas but once she got older she looked a lot more like Alexandra...

I think that anastasia resmbled Alix and Tatiana [glb]very [/glb]much when she got older and more refined, in reference to the "last" picture of her ever taken, in 1917 or 18 i believe. In this picture I thought that Tatiana [glb]strongly [/glb]resembled Alix when she was young:

(Probly because she looks so solemn like Alix!)


Someone abeled Olga as maria in the site i got this from!

Here's the link for the picture..

http://www.livadia.org/mashka/images/katiacolor1910_1.jpg

I've compared the children to the parents, and the only one that i've known is Olga who somewhat resembles her dad. I'm not g=quite sure of the others. The pic above which i found from Livadia.org, shows that Olga and Marie look very similar..they could be mistaken for twins! It's hard to figure out who Alexi resembles..but i would say out of his siblings it's Maria who resembles him closely. As children Ana and Tatiana don't have many similarities but they do when both are a bit older as in this pic, they have the same face shape.

I think that Olga and Marie always looked similiar.
And I think that Tatiana and Anastasia  were similiar.

Alexei I think looked very much like his sisters Tatiana and Anastasia, and there is a picture of Tatiana with short hair after her illness in 1913 when you can just see Alexei in her features so clearly.
In other formal family photos Anastasia and Alexei just look so alike to me.
It is just what I see.

I'd have to say that I see a great deal of Alix in Olga, but a rounder face than her mother, a bit like her paternal grandfather. Tatiana, I see as a mix of the two families, with a bit of each parent and grandparents. Maria, I see as looking a GREAT deal like her paternal grandfather, with her father's blue eyes. Anastasia, I see looking the most like Alix, and unlike most people, it seems, I see her as being as beautiful as her sisters. Her features are so fine, and when she's not making faces for the camera, she's astonishingly lovely. In Alexei, I see huge amounts of the Hessian side, though more Ludwig than Alix. I certainly agree that all five had their own unique beauty, but each was absolutely staggering. Tatiana was probably the least photogenic, but when you catch her in a good portrait, she catches the breath. I find her the most beautiful Grand Duchess, but it's really subjective, and without the opportunity to see them in real-life, I don't think we can really fairly judge.

For example, I get stopped all the time to be told, 'You have the most gorgeous hair/eyes/skin I've ever seen!' and my husband was once told on a night out, when we were both dressed quite nicely, that I should go into modelling. (With this body? *snickers* Right, THAT'S going to happen...) I don't, however, photograph well at all. The few I've posted are veritable phenomena, I assure you. Also, I've read repeatedly that Ella's beauty was never really captured by a camera, that it had to be seen in person. Such is frequently the case. When all we have is photographs, the fact that we can judge all the girls as beauties really says something to what their looks must have been in person...I'm glad I never had to stand next to them, I'll say that much. lol

Arianwen, what you say is so true!!!  It is absolutely astonishing that with that bad a quality of pictures back then on top of being in black and white that these girls are incredibly beautiful even in these old turn of the century photos!!!  :o  It's so true--I can't even begin to fathom what they must've looked like in the flesh.  I know I would develop an inferiority complex on the spot!! lol ::)

Actually, black-and-white pictures can be surprisingly flattering. A uni mate of mine who was reading art decided to do a photo shoot of each member of our group of friends, and she converted several into black-and-white. The contrast really brings out colouring, such as making my light blonde hair look almost white and my eyes look much darker than they are (they're a medium blue). Also, if you have fair skin and are wearing dark colours, or vice versa, your complexion gets shown to best advantage. For whatever reason, black-and-white also minimises blemishes and acne. The photo quality wasn't stellar, though, and taking a photo was a much longer process, so holding a photogenic pose was much harder. For whatever reason, you weren't supposed to smile, either. *shrug*

i agree, they can make you look so much more refined, my mates and I are also posing for photos on my digital camera and they usually all look better in black and white.

Another good point, about looking refined. Look at all the classic films in black-and-white, and all the actresses who look SO stunning, Audrey Hepburn in particular coming to mind. She's beautiful in colour photos and film, but in black-and-white...ironically, her favourite clothing scheme, it seems. I have a very close friend who looks eerily like Audrey, so when we found this black and white evening gown in a style that looks like it came out of her wardrobe, we HAD to get it for my friend. A perfect example of how classic fashions never go out of style.

I would have to say, that of the 4 girls, it is Anastasia I think who looks most like Alix. Sometimes I see photos of Alix as a little girl, around the ages of 8 to 12 and I see Anastasia and have to look twice, oh that's Alix!
Also, I think Tatiana looks most like her Grandmother, Marie Feodorovna, and also a bit like her cousin Irina as well, especially when they were young teenagers, around 12 to 15, they looked so alike they looked like the sisters and Olga the cousin! It is what I see again.

On the subject of photos, black and white or sepia are SO much more flattering to people than colour! I have a fair complexion and blonde hair, and in the few black and white photos I have of myself I look much nicer (actually they are sepia). Colour photos make me look bland and washed out.
I think there is something almost romantic about sepia or black and white, the subject looks far more appealing.
