Roman Maksimovich Volkov. Portrait of the Russian Tsar Alexander I, first quarter of the 19th century.
Half-length, ceremonial portrait of the Russian Emperor Alexander I (1777-1825) in full face. In the alcove, near the column and the red curtain, the king is depicted in military uniform, with a sash and epaulettes, with his hand on the book of laws. His gaze is anxious and concerned about the fate of Russia. It is noteworthy that the laws for him are above autocracy. The book closes the crown. This can be interpreted as the constitutional program of the king.
Without a signature. The pommel of the imperial crown indicates the presence of the painting. Oil, canvas. 90×72 cm.

Роман Максимович Волков. Портрет российского царя Александра I, первая четверть XIX века.
Поясной, парадный портрет российского императора Александра I (1777-1825) в анфас. В алькове, у колонны и красной шторы, царь изображен в военной форме, с кушаком и эполетами, положившим руку на книгу законов. Его взор тревожен и озабочен о судьбах России. Примечательно, что законы для него, превыше самодержавия. Книга закрывает корону. Сие можно истолковывать как конституционную программу царя.
Без подписи. Навершие из императорской короны указывает на присутственное происхождение картины. Масло, холст. 90×72 см.
