Empress Elisabeth appears briefly as a figure of imperial authority and Russian patriotism. Asked to give directions concerning state institutions, she refuses, leaving the responsibility where she believes it belongs. The text offers no further personal history or transformation.
Description
The text identifies Elisabeth as an empress but gives no concrete details of her face, coloring, hair, build, or dress. Her appearance should therefore remain open to interpretation, with only the restrained formality and authority of an imperial presence suggested.
