historyofromanovs:LIST OF ROMANOV RULERS: #10 - Empress Elizabeth I of Russia (29 December 1709 - 5 January 1762)“The Princess Elizabeth is very handsome. She is very fair with light brown hair, large sprightly blue eyes, fine teeth and a pretty mouth. She is inclinable to fat but is very genteel and dances better than anyone I ever saw. In public she has an unaffected gaiety, and a certain air of giddiness, that seem entirely to possess her whole mind; but in private I have heard her talk in such a strain of good sense and steady reasoning, that I am persuaded the other behavior is a feint.” - Mrs Vigor, an English woman resident in St. Petersburg. -- source link
