Signature - a symbol of
 

Hello!

That such work, X /M is labeled on the plywood, 93h127sm

At the bottom was a lot of scree and the signature is left only

character because of kryleshek and 57

Can anybody seen this?

And it may be a plot?

.
.

Do you think this is a signature?

Maybe it's the remnants of pagan robes character that baptism in this story takes?

Green wings with ribbon and white wings resemble knights helmet plumes, which were crowned with emblems.
The iconography is quite Heralds.
I suspect that the talus was destroyed arms, which were read by contemporaries as a surname.

Wings usually depicted in pairs , with their position - either directly or profile - depends on the position of the helmet. If the helmet is turned upright, wings outstretched depicted on his helmet , turned in profile , the wings are depicted in parallel, with pointed ends facing backward . On the ancient coats of arms with gorshkovidnye helmets, wings depicting a stylized , more like a board, colored pens or a seated individual feathers. With the development of heraldry and a departure from primitive forms of Gothic wings have become more natural look. The wings are painted in accordance with the tinted shield , and as panel boards , and sometimes repeats the image on it the primary and secondary figures . Sometimes placed between the wings of a minor
coat shape (eg star or rose), depicted in the coat of arms.

I thought so too, and that the figures for next time?

If the year, then it hardly written above the signature

or near the bottom or

Maybe I'm wrong

The subject recalls "The Baptism of Clovis' ...
Pokopaytes in the Internet ...
What if ...

Alas, we'll never know.
The surviving figures could be just the top line on the accompanying label (could be a specified place, a comment, etc.).
Know who would baptize, maybe it could be a clue.

It is unlikely that Clovis.
Without touching the clothing and surroundings, it seems to me that the young man in a red cloak in the foreground shows a very good reason.
At Clovis did not mention anything.
Must be at least something, or lily dove

I bought this painting as a work presumably Johann Michael Rottmayer

but he has years of life 1654-1730, and here I was confused by the numbers 57

But the plot said that this "baptism of Paul," and here I have doubts

I really do not know anything about anything in church affairs and characters

Who is the author suggested, I wonder?

The seller, apparently?

It's hard.

Apostle Paul baptizes the bishop.
Hmm ...

Of course the seller :)> well, someone is now believed to sellers ;)>

So you want to uncover the truth

polimpa84, as for me, so this thing at the XIX century.

Should be earlier . There really Kleynod of arms. In the 19th century . practically no longer painted coats of arms in his paintings , very rarely in the portraits .

X-ray, perhaps, shows the remains of arms and numbers. Incidentally, the year is often soprovazhdal coat of arms on the pictures and inscriptions as well as could be.

From late redrawn, perhaps.

If a layer of paint flaking, but judging by the pictures and showered loss toned, nothing at all X-rays did not show.
