Portrait miniatures simulating carved cameo portraits or other representations in profile were highly fashionable in early 19th century Russia. Such works are recorded by Pietro de Rossi and Anthelme-François Lagrénée (see A. A. Karev, Miniaturn'ij portret v Rossii XVIII veka, Moscow, 1989, colour pl. 113).
