I do not believe it is. I saw it on wikipedia and it shows it as the statue. It is my understanding that the sculpture was more life size, and stood in the entrance foyer. I do not know what it looks like or where it went. Do you have a picture of Fanny Lear, Hattie Ely?

I have a photo of her but I do not know how to put it in the Internet, but I am going to try. I am very interested in his life. I think that the statue was sent to Tashkent by his mother, and I think it was life size. Have you been to the Museum? Have you seen it?
Thanks Eva McDonald

I just wrote a book about Grand Duke Nicholas Konstantinovich and his mistress Fanny Lear - FANNY LEAR LOVE AND SCANDAL IN TSARIST RUSSIA, it contains 5 years of research and the translation of her memoirs.
