And I like the sketch. Although there is no sky, no water, but caught the mood perfectly.

Here you can get for 500 rub.Prostaya wooden frame and painted marilkoy dark color. Chic frame rather spoil it.

And the sky and the water is very different for the Etude - does not require a sketch.
I also like the mood and emancipation natural and competent restraint.

And in my opinion, this is not the French Impressionists, and our Russian author
20-ies. It is possible to read as follows: Vlasov (possibly Sergey Vlasov Alekseevich.1873-1942). Year 1913-1918.
. Such trading Valais were in Moscow during the revolution and posle.Vperedi seen polushatrovoy annexe building with a characteristic of Russian church architecture.
And the guy with the beard, not a peasant of earnings or carter. In a pot, most likely, detective.

I think - you're right. Especially Valais in the background ...

Not a few, but quite simply.
So my aunt said.
What's your name girlfriend, nobody remembers, but in terms of their lotoshnikov called her chicken. Dry, nervous and very old - memories of childhood.

Look Vlasov and his signature:

- Not at all, even close!
Style is sharp, precise strokes, and Vlasov all delicately and carefully written out.

Maybe she was a cook at the maid of honor? Then with the painting, and chicken is understandable.

Return to the top: shy:

I - pass.
But, if I remember correctly, you have sold it without the author's name.

Very good sketch (not sketch). In my opinion, about 1885. Then this style was called "Social Realizm", quite a lot of artists of that time worked hard at this style, along with the Impressionists, such as - Lepage, Gibert, Fischer, etc. For colors - is Europe 100%. If you udasttsa prove it, it costs money. Good luck!

Here is the eye!
 

Well you give! :):):) Why not 1886?
