"Portrait of the Grand Duke Peter Fedorovich with a Baton" is an 18th-century oil painting by the German artist Georg Christoph Grooth. Created in 1742, the portrait features the future Emperor Peter III of Russia, who was the Grand Duke Peter Fedorovich at the time the painting was made. Grooth, who was a prominent court painter, was commissioned to capture the likeness of the Grand Duke, who was known for his interest in military affairs, a theme that is underscored by the presence of the baton, a symbol of military command, in the portrait.

The painting is significant both artistically and historically. Artistically, it is an example of Grooth's mastery of portraiture and his ability to convey the status and personality of his subjects through meticulous attention to detail and the use of symbolism. Historically, the portrait provides insight into the representation of Russian royalty in the 18th century and reflects the European influence on Russian court culture during the reign of Empress Elizabeth. The Grand Duke, who was born as Karl Peter Ulrich of Holstein-Gottorp, ascended to the Russian throne in 1762, and his brief reign was marked by a series of controversies and political turmoil, culminating in his overthrow and assassination.

The painting is notable for its rich color palette and the detailed rendering of the Grand Duke's attire, which reflects the fashion of the Russian court. Grooth's work captures the Grand Duke's youthful features and his regal bearing, set against a backdrop that suggests his aspirations and the grandeur of his position. The portrait remains an important work in the study of Russian art and history, offering a glimpse into the life and image of a figure who would play a pivotal role in the events leading to the rise of Catherine the Great.

"Portrait of the Grand Duke Peter Fedorovich with a Baton" is housed in the collection of the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, where it continues to be studied and admired by scholars and visitors alike.
