Prince Alexis Soltykoff (or: Aleksei Dmitrievich Saltykov) was a gifted painter and sketcher who, after a relatively short career in the Russian diplomatic service, settled down in Paris around 1840. From there he traveled to the East twice (1841-1843 and 1845- 1846) and crossed the Indian subcontinent.
After his return to Paris from the second voyage some of his drawing which he had made on the spots during his voyages were lithographed in a book Voyages Dans L'inde Par Le Prince Alexis Soltykoff.
