This graceful portrait shows Elizabeth Petrovna, who was the Empress of Russia from 1741-1762. The word is she actually disliked governing, and adored dancing and new clothes. She owned 15 000 ball-gowns and several thousand pairs of shoes! But I guess she is not historically unique in such royal extravaganzas :)
Thank you Kate (Orangemood) for this addition to my still modest royalty collection!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVZmswISEmVG1llCEPwH4dIH-dpyhKeb0sRIl7jNBzL1rU29YAJskdtxfLvN-bSs2APF0snvAzWYLHTbyLsLpzZ51Vkg2T1Vsg1tozq60xlpXezdPbyO_1wvfPpj8z3By47RgcuH7EvW3S/s320/nn+008.jpg)
Generally, sagittarius in the 9th astrological sign; positive, extrovert , fiery. The ruler planet is Jupiter. It is traditionally depicted as centaurus, a mythical creature which is half man, half horse. They were considered to be wild, savage and lustful! Surely not the characteristics of the astrological sign they represent - well here's hoping! :D The constellation can be seen here in the summer months while looking southwards, just above the horizon.
Thank you Anna (Anutik) for this rare card!
