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.
