The last photo sent shivers thru me. My mother's side of the family was from Russia and managed to escape with much of the family assets to the US at the very start of the revolution.
My grandmother had a photo. in a gold frame of her and her mother and they both looked very much like the young lady in the last photo - not quite the beauty as the posing and clothing were more severe.
My mother was the youngest of six sister's - each a stunner in a different way. Everytime one of the sister's passed away I tried to buy it but without success and it appears to have been lost from the family.
Shame to men in the family didn't get any of the looks. Thank you for sharing it,
Very nice portraits..
