Grand Duke Konstantin N. and Grand Duchess Alexandra Iosifovna

 The photo was taken in the end of 1880s : Queen Olga with her mother and 2 daughters,Alexandra and Marie.


 

I always thought this photo very sad one. One can see 5 generations: Alexandra Iosifovna,Queen Olga,her grandd-r Maria Pavlovna,baby Lennart on AI's lap and a portrait of Alexandra Georgievna in Maria's hands...
Old Alexandra Iosifovna looks completely out of this world,she definitely had became senile...

In looking at all these great pictures, it seems to me that Vera resembled her mother more, with a longer type of face, while Olga with her rounder (and, IMO, prettier) face I suppose took after her father.

To everyone who has posted these lovely photos, Thank you so much.  They are all amazing and many are new to me.

I really love seeing pictures of AI and KN with their children. They did seem to have a close knit family with a wonderful bond.

Also I espesially love seeing pictures of Vera as a young girl and women as they are a little bit less common then those of her elder sister. So thank you sooo much Sveta  . In many family photos she is not present as she spent alot of time away from her parents and siblings as a young girl and teenager. Which Russian aunt was it that she stayed with for periods of time as a girl? I cant seem to remeber. I think she was quite pretty in youth, although she could not top the looks of Olga (IMO). She had her fathers eyes I think, like her brother Konstantin and her mothers face shape and structure. I do think that olga looked VERY much like her mother as well.

Vera lived a good part of her life with her childless aunt Olga Nicolaievna, Queen of Wurttemburg. Vera then married a Wurtt. herself.

Thanks for posting these pictures. Just great to see them all!
If I may ask...Does anyone have some pictures of AI with her youngest son, GD Vjacheslav?

[PrinceEddy1864]

Sveta were did you see that was Viacheslav? I always thought it was one of the older boys. But I dont know for sure.

This is also little Viacheslav.
