Письмо Екатерины II о пользе вакцинации и ее портрет проданы в Лондоне за $1,26 млн

Екатерина II еще в 1768 году первой в России привилась от оспы сама и настояла на том, чтобы после нее был привит и наследник престола Павел Петрович.

Портрет работы Левицкого стал топ-лотом торгов, на которых также было за 915 тыс. фунтов (1,21 млн фунтов) реализовано полотно Генриха
