"Catherine II (1729-96) after a portrait by Feodor Rokotov" is an exquisite enamel on copper miniature artwork, framed by the Imperial Porcelain Factory in St. Petersburg, and attributed to the skilled enamelist Andrei Ivanovich Chernyi. This piece is a testament to the rich tradition of Russian enamel work, which flourished during the 18th century, particularly under the patronage of the Russian court. The miniature is based on a portrait by the renowned Russian painter Feodor Rokotov, who was one of the foremost portraitists of his time and whose works were highly sought after by the Russian nobility.

The original portrait by Rokotov captured Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia, in the latter part of her reign, reflecting her status, confidence, and the cultural enlightenment of her era. Rokotov's ability to convey the character and stature of his sitters made his portraits valuable and influential pieces of art. The transition of this work into the medium of enamel required meticulous craftsmanship and was likely commissioned by an individual of high status, given the connection to the Imperial Porcelain Factory, which was known for producing luxury items for the Russian imperial family and court.

The frame created by the Imperial Porcelain Factory, under the direction of Andrei Ivanovich Chernyi, would have been crafted with equal attention to detail and luxury, befitting the representation of the empress. The combination of Rokotov's artistic legacy with the fine craftsmanship of Chernyi and the Imperial Porcelain Factory results in a piece that is not only a work of art but also a historical artifact reflecting the opulence and cultural achievements of Catherine the Great's reign.

This miniature is an important piece for scholars studying Russian art, the history of enamel work, and the cultural artifacts of the Russian imperial court. It stands as a representation of the cross-disciplinary collaboration between painters and artisans, as well as the interconnectedness of art and power in the history of imperial Russia.
