Portrait of Tsar Nicholas II (by Albert Edelfelt) Stone Coaster
This design features a painting by the Finnish-Swedish artist Albert Edelfelt (1854–1905). It depicts Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, who was the last Emperor of Russia, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Finland. He ruled from 1 November 1894 until his abdication on 15 March 1917. He was murdered the following year. Tsar Nicholas II is known in the Russian Orthodox Church and the Greek Orthodox Church as Saint Nicholas the Passion-Bearer. He is wearing formal military attire in this portrait, with golden epaulettes on his shoulders, a sword in its sheath hanging down from his waist and many medals displayed proudly on his chest. He is wearing shined boots, and he is standing on a polished wooden floor. Tsar Nicholas II also appears proud of his manly beard and moustache. The original portrait was painted by Albert Edelfelt in 1896.
