"Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna Breastfeeding Grand Duchess Olga" is a historical illustration by French artist Henri Meyer, featured on the front cover of "Le Petit Journal" on December 8, 1895. The image depicts the Russian Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, wife of Emperor Nicholas II, nursing her firstborn child, Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna. This portrayal is significant as it captures a private moment of motherhood within the Russian imperial family, reflecting the intimate aspects of royal life during the late 19th century.

The illustration is emblematic of the period's fascination with the lives of European royalty, often romanticizing and publicizing their personal and family moments. Henri Meyer, known for his work as an illustrator, contributed to the popularization of such imagery through his work in "Le Petit Journal," a widely circulated French newspaper that often featured color illustrations of current events and notable figures.

The image of Tsarina Alexandra and her daughter not only provides a glimpse into the personal life of the last Empress of Russia but also serves as a historical document reflecting the societal norms and values of the time. The act of breastfeeding, depicted by a member of the royal family, subtly underscores the natural and maternal role expected of women, even in the highest echelons of society.

This illustration gains additional poignancy in light of the tragic fate that befell the Romanov family, as both Alexandra Feodorovna and Grand Duchess Olga were executed alongside other family members by Bolshevik revolutionaries in 1918. The artwork, therefore, stands as a poignant reminder of the imperial family's humanity and the turbulent historical context that would eventually lead to their demise.
