The painting was a gift to Catherine the Great from King Gustav III, who described the contents himself: “I am sitting on a sofa drawing and am examining several plans such as Tsarskoye Selo, on which I see the places where I walked with the Empress on this beautiful site.” The elegant conclusion is deferential in praising the gift recipient. The reader is reading an ode to Catherine by Voltaire.
