The Empress Elizabeth of Russia on Horseback, Attended by a Page

The Empress Elizabeth of Russia on Horseback, Attended by a Page is an equestrian painting of 1743 in the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, with several replicas.

Done in oil on canvas by Russo-German painter Georg Christoph Grooth, the work depicts Empress Elizabeth of Russia on horseback.
