Here are photos of work and the paper on which it is made with good natural osveschenii.Na paper clearly visible bands (up to the light water marks). I do not know it or Mate V. Repin, but available in my collection is a portrait of Vereshchagin Mate executed exactly at the this paper.
And ispolenie work itself really does not suggest either as a "trial of strength" 1980-90godov.
Send request to the State Museum L.N.Tolstogo.U them in the database of more than 700 graphic rabot.Nadeyus help to clarify the authorship.

Sir, what to take with them? (Repin IE Tolstoy barefoot. 1901. RM)

    , our great Russian writer
    Count Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy
    There he ate no fish, no meat,
    I walked through the village barefoot.

       His wife - Sophia Andreyevna
       On the contrary - she loved to eat.
       She did not go barefoot.

Maybe he Repin and made

It is doubtful that ... Mate that yes, signed, but mostly on the plate. And here - on the plate no signature, it is (or rather, was) lower than a pencil. And it is not simply unreadable, and artificially wiped, which can be seen under magnification. Why and by whom was this done? Repin himself would not do this, probably just destroyed a list if I were them displeased. A signature Repin no one else would wipe up unreadable. Conclusion - not Mate and Repin. Why reinstall? And to all thought: "What if Repin?" And obviously wiped amateurishly. Do not think that the damage a work of art that even the shrewdest meaningless: it does not increase, and lowers its price. But who the author really? Riddle. It is necessary to search the web for the second copy of this print - with the signature.

Graf, what to take with them? (Repin IE Tolstoy barefoot. 1901. RM)

Here's an interesting collection of messages from the Russian press in 1903

06 March (February 21) 1903
Petersburg newspaper

Two years ago, Ilya Repin exhibited at the Wanderers portrait of Leo Tolstoy, and depicted the great writer's barefoot.
They say that when Tolstoy learned about this his portrait, he wrote Repin: "Thank you, Ilya Efimovich that razuv me, you left me at least trousers.
If, indeed, Tolstoy turned with the words to Repin, there is no doubt that he was not entirely satisfied with the image of himself in the picture without his boots. But in this case that should have to be a great writer, learning about the appearance of paintings in the exhibition, where it appears not so much bare, but this time without the most necessary articles of dress of all men.
In short, they found an artist who stripped to his picture of Tolstoy that Repin's still not decided to withdraw from the great writer.
Such a picture of the audience to contemplate having to open the exhibition on Sunday, St. Petersburg. artists.
