Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna (1882-1960) was the youngest child of Maria Feodorovna (Princess Dagmar of Denmark) and Alexander III. This granddaughter of King Christian IX of Denmark escaped the Bolsheviks who murdered two of her brothers (Tsar Nicholas II and Grand Duke Michael). She lived in Denmark for a time and later in Ontario, Canada where she died in 1960. She was a talented and prolific artist. Read an interesting post telling her story at the Royal Historian here.
