Konstantin Korovin? Seeking help!
 

Dear friends and participants of this forum.
I have interesting sketch study.
It seems to be without signature but is inscribed on frame "K. Korovine" (please look at pictures).
I don't know could I attribute this painting to famous Russian artist Konstantin Korovin.

Picture size: 25 x 20 cm, oil on panel.


Thanks!

In fact, his study is not the same signature as on the nameplate can write whatever you want.

It is hard to understand something on such a small photo.
Allow larger size, this can not see anything.

Yes, without signature it is practically impossible to clear the author.
But what's the point to fake the picture without signature.
It seems to be original frame and maybe it is another Korovin.


Maybe these photos are better.


Thanks for response!

Yes, anything can happen.

Maybe this study Korovin.

Always is an opportunity but it needs time to clear out.

macas, you write in English in the English version of the forum, a Russian-speaking participants will be
in Russian see your messages already in the translation.

Hope can now read all translated into Russian.

Very similar to the Cow.
At least that is the same association.

The next step is professional expertise. But it is a problem. I live in Vilnius, Lithuania and we actually have only Parisian pictures by Korovin. It is impossible to compare them with this sketch but today art critic said me that colouring is similar to Korovin.

No, it does not pull Korovin.

He's just not written in a different manner and in a different style in general.

I don't now maybe it is still a small chance that this sketch was painted in early times until impressionism influence. However, it was painted by russian painter and I think professionally, not by amateur.

Here are two opinions:
Incidentally, I also assuming that the author of this sketch may be Korovin.

Interesting story about provenance of this sketch. I was told that the painting was brought in America during the civil war in Russia. The owners were russians and they run away in USA.

This is not the original story, all about it and tell us.

Of course, all not well documented provenance stories are relative.

Interesting detail form the artist biography:

"Korovin painted a large number of landscapes: Norwegian Port, St. Triphon's Brook in Pechenga, Hammerfest: Aurora Borealis, The Coast at Murmansk and others. The paintings are built on a delicate web of shades of grey. The etude style of these works was typical for the Korovin's art of the 1890s."

Maybe this sketch, full of grey shades is from that period.
