My best guess is the Maple room. Or the Palisander room. The upholstery looks most like the Maple room to me, but I can't match that sofa with known furniture in either room. There are a number of photos of Alexandra posing in the Maple room in that dress.

Yeah.
My first thought was that the photo is taken under the balcony area in the Maple room but looking at other photos I'm not really sure. I see no connection.

I have it cataloged as "Empress Alexandra in the Mauve Boudoir of Alexander Palace, Tsarskoe Selo, 1909." I don't remember where that description came from but it has always been a reliable source in the past.

I had a second look, and I don't think it can be the Mauve Boudoir. The empress's boudoir had striped fabric on the walls, and very light woodwork. The room in question has solid-colored walls and very dark paneling.

You're quite right. The photo is rather dark and I couldn't really ID the room myself. I was going by the description from a formerly reliable source whose name I can't even remember right now.

Thanks,
