Our google-esc search found a Lobanov-Rostovsky (slightly different spelling?) (another family entirely?) family tree page that has plausible dates for:
Alexei Alexandrovich Prince Lobanov-Rostovsky (A.A)
https://www.geni.com/people/Alexei-Alexandrovich-Prince-Lobanov-Rostovsky/6000000054047775895
and
Aleksandra Grigorievna Princess Lobanova-Rostovsky (A.G.)
https://www.geni.com/people/Aleksandra-Grigorievna-Princess-Lobanova-Rostovsky/6000000054047351919
For whatever that might matter to you.
Add a little more that we found interesting. Doña Esperanza apparently was a socialite and courtier in a number of royal families. If Wikipedia is accurate, she has an interesting life, indeed.
In this case, the most interesting thing is that when young, Esperanza was adopted by the couple in the painting.

The Internet -- Time Sink of the first order since the mid 1990's.
Clowder! These are amazing finds and I am THRILLED! (And a little abashed that I didn't find 'em first.) Love, Curator
The depiction of the light catching the edges of the poodle's curls is wonderful.
