An interesting article on Maria Fedorovna as an artist

I would recommend a chapter from the book "Women and Material culture, 1660-1830" to everyone interested in Maria Fedorovna as an artist. The chapter is called: Sculpting in Tiaras: Grand Duchess Maria Fedorovna as a Producer and Consumer of the arts by Rosalind P.Blakesley.
