History of being in the middle of the family ~ 19c.
Canvas size 79h66 Made watercolor see something like hardboard material (I'm weak in the painting)

Have not heard the real stories of the mid-19th century.
even family history.
Usually, after his great-grandfather - the real story is "missing."

And much about the history of a transmitted image ...

And the fish.
sailing ships on not particularly like.

Yes , the story of his great-grandfather . But it was in the family, he could not remember ... Well maybe towards the end of the 19th century. that's for sure . Maybe someone will be able to identify the author . Vishnyakov read clearly. No initials .

If I did not say that it's the middle of the 19th, by the boats and the crews, I would think that it's the middle of the 20th, somewhere in the Aral Sea.

I think shows the river.

disorder: mid-19th century, and even at the beginning of the 20th, the name Vishnyakov written a bit wrong ...

I have no such confidence! Surname " Vishnyakov " is written without a solid mark.
Fishing boats in the background clearly sails ( as rightly observed Fed) and steam, no unnecessarily high stacks . I wonder what kind of engines installed on fishing vessels at the end of XIX century?

Why do you conclude that this fishing vessels ? You mean the barge along the rivers hand thrust ever heard?

And with the hard sign (or rather, his lack of) what shall we do?

October 10, 1918, in the Russian Federation introduced new rules of spelling.
Excluded from the alphabet letter "yat" "izhitsa", "fit", repealed hard sign at the end of words .

And this is the beginning of the twentieth century, not the end of the XIX.

So I want to figure it out.
It is clear that this is not the Vishnyakov, who b.
I am interested in math.
the value of such things.
Need to decide - then hang on the wall or to please someone's alien eyes))))

As for your watercolors, this type of painting Baltic first third of the 20th century.

Let me tell you , say,
Let me tell you
As the storm sails knit
As sails to knit.
Allow me to take salling ,
Oh, you have to take salling .
And in the hands of the wet sheet to give you,
Shkotik give you wet ... <! - ~ 1 ~ ->

Every youngish and law-abiding Vishnyakov after October - November 1918 sharply cast tail.
(Old-timers - they last longer , and the other at the end of the 20's were written by " ers ", but with a fitami yatyami ...)
A craft - so there is common " Vereshchagin , go to the barge "! Scanty motorized vessels. The river is likely.
I'm telling you , as a former plover ... (I'm on a ship - thankfully !)

Nesterov, naprimer.

Why kidding? Signature on etih works identical " Vishnyakov " in the same font and no initials .
