OTMA Romanov ,Tsarina Alexandra and a unknown lady …

That is Sonia Orbeliani. She was Alexandra’s lady in waiting but contracted a spinal disease, so Alix had her move into the Alexander Palace and took care of her.

Grand Duchesses Olga, Anastasia, and Maria with some courtiers c. 1909. 

To me, there’s something very eerie about this, due to the quality of the photo. It looks rather like they’re fading away, blending into the background. OMA are still far more visible than the courtiers. The courtiers have vanished into history more than they have, but they too are only half-there.
