Unknown - portrait of Alexander I

This miniature portrait is by an unknown artist, but it is a copy of a well known portrait of Alexander I (1777-1825) of Russia.

The condition of the miniature is not the best, needing some expert restoration, but when painted it was by a very good artist.

It is quite large at 121mm x 95mm, and logically was painted in the 19C, well before the Russian Revolution.
