Portrait of Princess Ye. Golenishcheva-Kutuzova

Executed in the neoclassical idiom, the painting employs chiaroscuro to model the figure’s form, creating depth through contrasts of light and shadow. Guttenbrunn’s brushwork renders the textures of fabric and upholstery with precision, while the restrained palette underscores the elegance of the subject.

Created by the Austrian‑born portraitist active in the late eighteenth century, the canvas entered the State Hermitage Museum’s collection, where it remains part of the institution’s holdings of European portraiture from the period.
