She looked like her brothers Alexander III and Vladimar. Serge and Paul were slimmer in progile and had leaner features.

Thank you for the great pictures. Svetabel, :)
It seems that she, as Miechen, was interested in securing the best Princes or "les meilleurs partis", as she said herself, which made her marry (or try to marry) her daughters quite young.

Well...She did not get her way with Ducky and Sandra. The first because of pressure from QV and the second because she hoped for grander things, however she was moved by the Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg's prersistance in persuing her thrird daughter. As for Baby Bee, it was a long list of suitors, ending with her niece's Ena's match-making plans bearing fruit.

Found this labelled as Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna... Is it really her?

Certainly doesn't look much like her...the chin in particular is wrong.

Why there aren't any good portraits in color of the Duchess(i this one is wrong)?There is one miniature and that's it apart from the family portrait in the royal collection...

Those are great. Pity they´re so small..

I have found this one labelled as Maria Alexandrovna, wife of Alexander II. - which is obviously not true. It does look to me like his daughter thoug... What do you think?
