Portrait of Princess Olga Gagarin, in 1827,
 

60x50, canvas /oil, artist E.
Cleze, 1827

The inscription on the back "Comtesse Olga Gagarine"

Gagarin - the dynastic rulers of origin (Rurik).
This is some wealthy nobleman leaving abroad could afford to assign the title of count.
Titled Princes graphs - is absurd.

And why do you all have written?

Comtesse - Countess.

I wrote this to the fact that the signature is not relevant to the stated character.

If the character - Princess and the signature - "comtesse", where the discrepancy?

The inscription on the back of the portrait in 1827 - "Comtesse Olga Gagarine".
According to the OR
Chromium (Institute of Arts), then a common practice.
Traveling through Europe nobles often ordered portraits from local artists.
According to the former Russian Commissar "Tajan" T. Baryshevoj, Russian titles are often confused in French.

This portrait is not known who knows who signed.


No need to come up with crazy stories of aristocratic life.

Easy, Wladyslaw.
There is no history of aristocratic life.
There is a portrait, is the inscription, there is a signature, there is a verbal art reviews.
Who was depicted in the portrait, I do not know - there were dozens of princesses Gagarin.

Something recently began selling in the section of the discussion presented for sale.

Is this correct?
I think - no.

I also agree with this comment.
It seems to me to discuss the other section, but here I would like to see only the sale.

Hair and tailoring dresses coincide with this date.
