Memories of a famous French painter Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun cover the period of her activity in Russia. Being a well-known portrait painter in Europe she was welcomed to upper circles of Russian society and thus had an opportunity to get acquainted with many outstanding people of her age, among whom there were Empress Catherine II, Pavel I, Alexandr I, Duke Golitsyn, the Dolgorukys, Bezborodko, the Kurakins and others. In a witty and precise way she describes everyday life of St.Petersburg and Moscow, customs, traditions, moods and characters of both the elite and ordinary people.
