Zenaida Yusupova was the heiress to the immense Yusupov fortune when she married Count Felix Nikolaievich Sumarokov-Elston in 1882. She was famous for her beauty as well as for her hospitality. In private she criticized empress Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna. In 1908 her eldest son Nikolai was killed in a duel and she hardly recovered from the blow. Another son, Felix, is now well known as the murderer or Rasputin. The Yusupovs left Russia during the Russian Revolution of 1917. They settled in Rome. After her husband died in 1928 she moved to Paris, where she died. Her portrait was painted by François Flameng and by Valentine Serov.
