Indeed all four girls were fond of drawing, but according to Sophie Buxhoeveden, Maria was the only one with a talent for drawing:
I personally think Anastasia was quite skilled as well.
IIRC there were actually two Ortinos – both given to Tatiana by Dmitri Malama. One died shortly after it was given to her; the other is the one we see in various photographs.
As a little "terrier type dog" was found alongside the remains of Nicholas, Alix, Olga, Tatiana and Anastasia, it is presumed that he was killed on the 17 July as well
Marie Nikolaevna, alone of the sisters, had a decided talent for drawing, and sketched quite well, always with her left hand.
I personally think Anastasia was quite skilled as well.
Thanks Archduchess Zelia...I am a BIG fan of French bulldogs, adore the breed.Did Ortino perish at Ekaterinberg too?
