Sofia

yep sorry about that it is posted now

[Azarias]

What a beautiful photo!

[Mrs.Seay]

thanks definately a repo but some one wrote 1893 as the date but that can mean anything

[Mrs.Seay]

in your opinion do you think she is in the  maria pavlovna
"the elder"?

[Russian_Duchess_#5]

To me, she's not Alix, thought it does look like her..  
I don't think that those jewels survived the revolution, nearly none did, no matter who they belonged to.  
I am assume that this is the original photo, but scanned?
Because, if you look at her jewelry closely, there is a blue sapphire, and a photo from that era (a sepia photo, no less) would not have any color.  
You can see that the diamonds are the color white and gleaming, also.
This photo has been tampered with.  
Or am I seeing things?

well i have to agree with you there is some blue grey in the photo print or what ever it is but any information on her identity would be greatly appreicated as i would love to give her , her name

I doubt it's any Romanov.  Probably some noble person, doesn't have to have been Russian, etc.  Definitely is NOT Maria Pavlovna Sr.

Looks like Elena of Montenegro, Queen of Italy to me--even maybe Stana or Militsa of Montenegro, her sisters.

[Mrs.Seay]

thanks for the possible clues to finding this womans identity my biggest wish is to give her her name and possably her family
regards

[Mrs.Seay]

i am still researching this individuals identity i did find some photos online of the montenegro sisters (elena,stana and militsa) very possably one of these ladies (by just looking at facial visage) again any site that i can gain access to and use for research would be greatly appreicated as i am finding some sights have definate clues but are extremely elitist.

When someone finds out who this woman is, do you mind telling me who this is? I was thinking Maria or Anastasia...

I always thought it was Olga since there is another photograph of Olga running around with a camera in the book. Anyone else?

[Lanie]

That's Olga.
