Grand Duchess Tatiana in 1904

Tatiana was described as tall and slender, with dark auburn hair and dark blue-gray eyes, fine, chiseled features, and a refined, elegant bearing befitting the daughter of an Emperor. She was considered the most beautiful of the four grand duchesses by many courtiers. Of all her sisters, Tatiana most closely resembled their mother.

Tatiana's title is most precisely translated as "Grand Princess," meaning that Tatiana, as an "imperial highness", was higher in rank than other princesses in Europe, who were "royal highnesses." "Grand Duchess" became the most widely used translation of the title into English from Russian. [4] However, her friends, family and the household servants generally called her by her first name and patronym , Tatiana Nikolaevna [5] or by the Russian nicknames "Tanya," "Tatya," "Tatianochka," or "Tanushka.
Like the other Romanov children, Tatiana was raised with some austerity . She and her sisters slept on camp beds without pillows, took cold baths in the morning, [8] and were expected to keep themselves occupied with embroidery or knitting projects if they had a spare moment. Their work was given as gifts or sold at charity bazaars
Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna of Russia (Tatiana Nikolaevna Romanova) (Russian: Великая Княжна Татьяна Николаевна) (10th June (11th after 1900) 1897 – 17 July 1918) (After 1900, Tatiana's birthday was celebrated on 11 June) was the second daughter of Tsar Nicholas II , the last monarch of Russia, and of Tsarina Alexandra . She was born at the Peterhof , Saint Petersburg .

She was better known than her three sisters during her lifetime and headed Red Cross committees during World War I. Like her older sister Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna of Russia , she nursed wounded soldiers in a military hospital from 1914 to 1917, until the family was arrested following the first Russian Revolution of 1917 .

Her murder by revolutionaries on 17 July 1918 resulted in her being named as a passion bearer by the Russian Orthodox Church . She was a younger sister of Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna of Russia and an elder sister of Grand Duchess Maria Nikolaevna of Russia , Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia and Tsarevich Alexei of Russia . All sisters were falsely rumored to have survived the assassination and dozens of imposters claimed to be surviving Romanovs. Author Michael Occleshaw speculated that a woman named Larissa Tudor might have been Tatiana; however, all of the Romanovs, including Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia, were murdered by the Bolshevik assassination squad.

Everything in the original picture has not been changed, just painted. PS 13. I chose to give her a royal setting and looked up colors that were used in early 1900 Rusia. She had blue eyes and dark auburn hair.
