Actually, Countess Dénes Széchényi, (née Émilie de Riquet, comtesse de Caraman-Chimay) in a painting by Philip de László. A color version of the painting is on Wikimedia Commons:
L.M Industriæ Autophagicæ said:
So old and....so cold. Indeed, the face that's watching you reminds me of those Belle Époque women (as she is), so sad in every photograph, or at least posing with a proud that lends a hand to sadness. Romanticism is always a particular.
Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
Thanks trialsanderrors for clarifying her correct name. We'll fill in the caption the next time we update the record. The painting was done in 1912 according to the catalogue raisonne.

Countess Panin (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

Richard Norton said:
Countess Sofia Vladimirovna Panina (1871–1956) was Vice Minister of State Welfare and Vice Minister of Education in the Provisional Government following the Russian February Revolution, 1917. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sofia_Panina

A cropped version of this photo ran in the Perrysburg journal., January 10, 1918 with the caption: "Countess Panin, minister of public instruction in the Kerensky cabinet, has been convicted of misappropriation of funds and sentenced to imprisonment." chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn87076843/1918-01-10/ed-...

From The Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History: books.google.com/books?id=EFI7tr9XK6EC&pg=RA2-PA407&a... "Called the first woman of Russia" by the Bolshevik commissar who arrested her in November 1917. Presumably this photo is from earlier, since in 1917, she would have been 46. Russian Women, 1698-1917: Experience and Expression, An Anthology of Sources books.google.com/books?id=-kfFUEdk6pQC&pg=PA366&l... has an excerpt from her memoirs (but not all pages are available). Some early history of her charitable efforts in St. Petersburg in The Popular Theatre Movement in Russia, 1862-1919. books.google.com/books?id=qlAq_oSHVakC&pg=PA203&l... She established a "people's house" with a theatre, library, classrooms, and more.

Thanks Richard Norton for identifying her and B-59 & swanq for the additional information. We'll update our catalog record.

Mrs. Jorge Andre, Countess Andre (Laura Webb) (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
Jorge Andre of Hamburg, Germany, married Miss Laura Virginia Webb (b 1892), the only daughter of Francis Egerton Webb (b 1867) and Mary Welsh Randolph Webb (b 1868), in New York City, January 1914. Laura Webb was granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edmund D. Randolph, and of General James Watson Webb. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F60A1FFC3C5412738... They had two children, Jorge Rudolph Andre (1914-1955), and Alice Alexandra Andre Floyd-Jones (1916-1993). The timing of this photo, taken between those two births, might explain her very weary expression. ;) Her son Jorge Jr. seems to have married the former wife of Daniel E. Sickles (grandson of the General Sickles found elsewhere in the Bain uploads), and lived here: daytoninmanhattan.blogspot.com/2012/03/unique-1930-henry-... Her daughter Alice's tombstone: www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=58382018
Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
Thanks pennylrichardsca for the information about her wedding. Did she become a countess? I wasn't able to tell that from the article.

Ryan - Jorge Andre was not titled. Every reference I can find to him is Mr. Jorge R Andre. Perhaps the photographer was confused. Jorge Andre is listed as an inventor in the 1915 NY state census (?), a banker in the US 1920 census ... he may have been given a job in his father-in-law's bank. In the 1940 census, Virginia is listed as widowed.
