Countess von Nesselrode by Isabey

Countess Maria von Nesselrode-Ehreshoven, also Maria Nesselrode (1786-1849), was a noblewoman and courtier of the Russian Imperial Court.

Early life

Maria was born as the eldest daughter of Count Dmitry Guryev (1758-1825), who served as Imperial Chamberlain and Minister of Finance of the Russian Empire, and his wife, Countess Praskovya Nikolaevna Saltykova (1764-1830).

Court life

She served as lady in waiting to Empress Elizabeth Alexeievna of Russia. She was married to German nobleman in the service of Catherine the Great, Count Karl von Nesselrode-Ehreshoven, who was Russia's Minister of Foreign Affairs for many years and hence politically powerful. She was a leading socialite in Saint Petersburg society and court life, hosted an influential salon, had high positions within philanthropy, and was described as politically active through her spouse. She was also noted for her enmity towards Pushkin.
