Catalogue Note
The Naryshkin family of Moscow boyars reached the zenith of its power after Natalya Narishkina (1651-1694) married the future Tsar Alexei I on 1 February 1671. She served as regent for her young son Peter the Great following his ascension to the throne in 1682. Members of the family played major roles in Russian life throughout the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries.
