hm i dont remember Felix mentioning about  the pommeranian, but I think this dog doesnt look like it much. the pommeranian has more fluffy hair.

Zenaida in 1924

There is great dignity & sadness in that picture.Presumably taken in 1924 at the villa in Rome she rented with her husband opposite the British Embassy.Jacques Ferrand must have shared my thoughts as he used it as the very last photograph as he used it as the very last in his 6 volume series of photos of the Russian aristocracy.

actually, it's not the last foto of the last volume.    it's last foto of volume #3.

Sanatorium in the palace of the Yussupov in the Crimea. Zenaida sits at the center of the table,to the right Irina,
and Felix stands third to the right. Found it in a Russian site, says it was taken in October 1916.






Taken in the park of sanatorium. You can see Zenaida, Felix and Irina clearly in this one. Taken on November 1, 1916.

Hi ashanti01,

Are you certain that the date is November 1, 1916?

Could you please provide the Russian link?

Thanks in advance,

I thought I had translated it correctly.    Let me know if the date is wrong.

[Belochka]

Your translation was perfect ashanti01. 

The reason I ask is that I understood that he was supposed to be in Petrograd at the time.

Thank you for helping me.

Best regards,

Margarita

I have worked it out.

The date on the website used the New Style date!

I did see them and I must admit I'm amazed how you keep finding these great pic's! The last picture you posted of Zenaida Yussupov was just stunning, because it just screams elegance, grace and beauty.
