historyofromanovs:LIST OF ROMANOV RULERS: #12 - Empress Catherine II of Russia (2 May 1729 - 17 November 1796)“Her figure is noble and agreeably impressive; her gait majestic; her person and deportment graceful in the highest degree. Her forehead is large and open; the nose borders on the aquiline; her mouth is sweetly fresh, and embellished by a singularly regular and beautiful set of teeth, the chin somewhat plump, and rather inclining to double, but without the smallest tendency to fatness. Her hair is chestnut-coloured, and uncommonly fine; the eyebrows are dark brown; the eyes hazel, and extremely fascinating.” - Claude Carloman de Rulehière -- source link
