Taken in the tercentenary year. It is unusual to find Irena as the Grand Duchess preferred her children to lead their lives away from the public gaze. Grand Duchess Xenia and her daughter Irena photographed at her mother's home. Irena was the wife of Prince Yusopov who was one of the murderer's of Rasputin. She was considered a great beauty, but she retreated into a private life after her glittering life before the Revolution.
