Count Feodor Tolstoy (1783-1873) was born in St Petersburg where he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts from 1802. His greatest talent was wax modelling, and from 1810 he became a medal designer for the St Petersburg Mint. As one of the most fashionable artists in Russia during the 1820s, he was appointed vice-president of the St Petersburg Academy in 1828.
