Russian Czar Nicholas II (1868-1918) travelled to Paris with his wife Alexandra Fyodorovna (1872-1918) in the autumn of 1896, where he was received by French President Félix Faure (1841-1899) in order to strengthen Franco-Russian relations. Nicholas II had succeeded his father Alexander III (1845-1894) to the Russian throne only two years earlier. During his visit to Paris on 7 October 1896, he took part in laying the foundation stone of the Pont Alexandre III, the magnificent bridge over the Seine that connects the Invalides with the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais, named in honour of his father.
The gala exit depicted here shows the Czar, his wife and the French President in a plain black Landau. The splendid buildings, decorated with French flags, of the famous Rue de Rivoli, which leads past the Louvre and the Tuileries, are recognisable in the background. It is striking that the equipage of state guests is only discernible at the far right edge of the picture. Instead, the artist has placed the Czar’s guard of honour at the centre of the painting, consisting of Arab and Tunisian chieftains dressed in splendid robes.
