Grand Duchess Maria Romanov

Maria, the third daughter, born in 1899, was strong, broadly-built and good-looking, with light gray eyes. She could paint and draw, and played the piano competently. She was very fond of children and inclined to domesticity, and would have made an excellent wife and mother. Maria had the rare quality of being perfectly happy in all surroundings, even when the family was imprisoned in Tobolsk. For this reason, she was chosen by her parents to accompany them when they were forced to separate from the family and embark upon their last fateful journey to Ekaterinburg.
