Almost all original portraits of Peter III are lifetime. More often than others, the German painter Georg Khristof Grot (1716–1749) wrote in Russia from 1743 to 1749. Iconographically portrait of timing is close to indisputable works of g. X. Groot-the oval portrait of Grand Duke Peter Fedorovich in the armor (1746, the Oranienbaum Museum-Reserve, INV. Tskh-1962-III), paired to the waist portrait of Grand Duchess Ekaterina Alekseevna; waist portrait from the collection of the Tallinn City Museum (1748, INV. TLM-8515/G-805); The portrait of Grand Duke Peter Fedorovich in Kaftan (about 1748, the whereabouts are unknown) (Markina. With. 236–237, 242–243, 259, 260). Since almost all of these images were executed in the second half of the 1740s, the work from the GRM collection could not be written earlier than this time.
