Avdotya (Evdokia) Ilyinichna Golenishchev-Kutuzova (nee. Bibikov; 1743–1807) – the wife of the admiral and. L. Golenishchev-Kutuzova, cavalier lady of the Order of St. Great Martyr of Catherine of the 2nd degree (1797), Stats-Dama (1806). As a result of the technological study, it was found that the double portrait of the empress Maria Fedorovna and Elizabeth Alekseevna in a diamond frame with a crown on a blue tape, placed on the left chest of the portrait, was written simultaneously with a portrait. A similar sign indicates that the portrait is in the rank of state-dame, which a. And. Golenishchev-Kutuzova was awarded in 1806. Accordingly, the portrait can be written no earlier than 1806. Similar portraits, but waist and with turning to the left, are available in the meeting of the GIM (from the collection of p. And. Schukina) and in the GTG. They represent a. And. Golenishchev-Kutuzov also with a medallion with a double portrait and a sign of the Order of St. Catherine, but go back to another iconographic source.
