George Dawe
Portrait of Count A.I. Ribаuрiеrrе
#2
This work by the English portraitist George Dawe (February 8, 1781, London - October 15, 1829, London) entered the museum collection as ‘Portrait of an Unknown.’ After some research, it was concluded that it depicts Alexander Ribаuрiеrrе, a brilliant Russian courtier and diplomat of Swiss origin. Alexander Ribаuрiеrrе (1781/1783 - 1865) was the son of Ivan Ribаuрiеrrе, a foreman of the Russian army (the aide-de-camp of Grigory Potemkin) and Agrafena Bibikova, a woman from a famous noble family.

The collection of the Taganrog Museum also includes her portrait by an unknown artist. So in one collection there are two portraits of the same family.

Agrafena Ribаuрiеrrе-Bibikova was the beloved maid of honor of Empress Catherine II and had great success at social events. In marriage, in addition to her son Alexander, she had two more daughters. It was precisely because of Alexander that she was once placed under police surveillance and expelled from Saint Petersburg.

However, the disgraced countess never made it to her place of exile. Alexander I who ascended the throne, sent a courier for her and returned her to the capital. The reason for this disgrace was the duel between young Alexander and Prince Chetvertinsky. It is believed that it happened because of a lady to whom Emperor Paul was not indifferent. Ribаuрiеrrе himself was imprisoned in a casemate, but that instance did not have serious consequences and did not affect his brilliant career further on.

From 1817 to 1823, Ribаuрiеrrе was the manager of the State Commercial Bank, and later was the Russian envoy in Constantinople and Berlin. From 1838 he was a member of the State Council of the Russian Empire, and in 1856, Alexander II granted Ribаuрiеrrе the title of a Count.
In 1823, Alexander Ribаuрiеrrе was at the age of just over 40 when he posed for a portrait by Dawe. He looks younger on canvas. The artist painted the future count in the best traditions of the English school, following the fashionable romantic canon of that time.

By the time the portrait was created, George Dawe had lived in Russia for over three years. From England he arrived already a renowned master. Dawe was educated at the London Academy of Arts and became a member of the Royal Academy in 1809. He came to Saint Petersburg in 1819 on honorable terms to complete a large-scale official order from the imperial court. Within 10 years, Dawe painted more than 300 portraits of participants in the Patriotic War of 1812 for the Military Gallery of the Winter Palace. The painter quickly gained incredible popularity in secular circles. It was extremely prestigious to order a portrait of his authorship.
