The Russian Tsarevich (1904 - 1918)
Portrait of Tsarevich Alexei Nicholaevitch Romanov, only son of Tsar Nicholas II and heir to the Russian Imperial Crown. Alexei was born at Peterhof in July 1904, the youngest of the Tsar's five children. His health was fragile as a result of haemophilia and contributed to the Tsarina falling under the influence of the religious mystic Rasputin. Alexei was executed with the rest of his family at Yekaterinburg on 17 July 1918, a few days after his fourteenth birthday.
