Help identifying the Russian subject of an early 18th-c. portrait

[David Powelstock]

Dear Colleagues,

Per the request of an acquaintance, I am attempting to identify the female
subject, a Russian woman, of a portrait painted probably in the first third
of the 18th century. (The artist died in 1732.)  SEELANGS does not accept
attachments of any kind, so I am reduced to asking that you write me
off-list if you think you might be able to help, upon which I will sent you
the image. Any clues would be helpful!

Many thanks in advance,
David P.
