Is Makovsky?
 

Watercolor looks good, the story is known.
Perhaps Makovsky made it before writing the big picture.
The painting itself will be published in the re-release of Makovsky (eds. Golden Age), and stored it in the "Cultural Foundation, if not mistaken.

And this is exactly the watercolor?
Do not print?

Picture is bad and the raster is visible.
Signature is not printed impression.
It should be good shots, or look through a microscope.

No, not printing, even on those bad picture can say with certainty.
At least not printing.

And what kind of "awkwardness"? What size is your thing?
Should at least know the size.
And where the object itself geograficheskt?

Dear vorea0083, normally decorate your post ..:
1. Author.
2. Material and equipment manufacturing (oil on canvas, paper, pastels, watercolors, lithographs, oil, pencil, etc.).
3. Size (horizontal x vertical for painting).
4. Date (1899 /early., Mid-twentieth century. Etc.).
5. Captions, labels, stamps, birochki (if any - need photos).
6. State (breaks, debris, scrapes).
7. Expert opinion (if available) - the organization + name experts.
8. High-quality photograph of the picture, the back side of the picture, photo captions (if any).
9. Origin of the picture.

She was kept under glass?
This is an important issue.

Room large enough watercolors Makovsky at major auctions - tens of thousands of euros. Compared to the potential sale of the examination is not so expensive. Decide for yourself ... However, you can offer "as is" - perhaps Makovsky, perhaps a certain year. Money, of course, quite different to be.

Dear Eugene,

If there was such an advanced, I would not have needed to seek the advice ...
In my opinion, is clear from the post and author and year: signed as Makovsky, 1884. Size does not tell you now, the picture in the country, and I am in Moscow, but the picture is big.

Replying to other questions: No, it did not kept under glass, if I knew the origin of the - I would probably know anything about authenticity. Geographically - Tver Region.
The "Techniques" I do not understand. And about eskpertnoe conclusion, I think, clear from the post - none of that - I'm writing about it and just ask - what could be the action in this case.
If a picture is worth roughly 5 thousand, then making the expertise of 60 thousand, to know that this is exactly Makovsky - I absolutely do not need, I'm not a connoisseur. Just looked on the internet other paintings by this artist and this image is not found among them - thought that maybe it is valuable for the arts.

Expertise is cheaper.

Thank you, Cyril, I'm just trying to Eugene as an example to explain that I am not an expert ...

I recalled an interesting story about Konstantin Makovsky.
Just out of curiosity, do not know whether Dear forum users what ended this mysterious story of a "grandmother's chest with a bulky watercolor on milen"?


He remembered the night looking :D>

In my opinion, this is a simple reproduction.
