Description Provenance Exhibitions Bibliography

Giolli (1913, p. 6) states that it is very likely that the small statuette shows Ada Winans (New York 1835- Intra, 1918) opera singer and mother of Troubetzkoy. Princess Troubetzkoy is portrayed in a realistic façon, which takes into account her 62 years of age. The style is similar to the portraits of Bona Weill-Schott and Edvige Vonwiller Gessner.
