Carte de visite Paul Frecker Paul Frecker provides the following comments:
"Born the Grand Duchess Anna Pavlova of Russia, she was the daughter of Tsar Paul I and the sister of Tsars Alexander I and Nicholas I. In 1816 she was married to Prince Willem VII of Orange, later King Willem II of the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, due to the Dutch transliteration, she is better known as Anna Paulowna. In 1840, on her father-in-law Willem I's abdication, she became the queen-consort of the Netherlands.
