Almost no doubt! He also studied at the icon-painters.
And then - a model clearly, all the exact same, my love.

Most likely your icon Yuzhnorussky origin.
In Khvalynskoye in the 19 th century, written by Syzran poshibu Iconographers-Old Believers, for example, the famous icon painter, VA Commissars.

did not prompt any, on the modern fashion, geographic regions covered the concept of "Yuzhnorussky origin"

This "fashion"-the current Central and Eastern Ukraine.
But your icon and Homel similar.
The influence of Baroque, "west".

More west than east, the influence, as for me:)

"Western influence"! Sounds good!
Why west? What is it expressed?
Can see what it is Western signs?

The academic style of icon painting (or as it was called the supporters of the canon-"zhivopodobnaya")-Western influence.
Is this you do not know?
A really old believers do not recognize zhivopodobnuyu icon.
"Canon prayer teaches more than zhivopodobnaya icon" - said that.

By the way, Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin began his studies of painting in the icon-painting studio, writing icons.
  But then I went to study in the railway school in Samara, did not go there *, but went to a private school of painting and drawing FE Burov.

In Samara, sometimes recall an anecdote about the exam Petrov-Vodkin.
 

died as a result of cholera, and chased the vodka.

Famous painter Kuzma Sergeevich Petrov-Vodkin, in 1893-1895 he studied in art classes Samara artist F. E. Burov.
Before that, he tried unsuccessfully to do in Samara railway school. At the exam Kuzma had written to present the history of Russia. The first sentence came quickly: "Ancient Russian chimneyless lived in pits, as half-savage people, and sown cereals. Thinking he was placed in these holes "ancient child" who died in them "like chickens". Here entrant has overcome doubts: "Qi" or "qi"? He struck out the word and wrote: "They died as a result of cholera." Inhabitants wells hunted "fur-bearing animals" and "vodka race". On the civilians "climbed" armed Artel, who gathered at the tribute began to build cities. Then strife arose between the princes and ... teacher announced that allotted for the exam two o'clock expired.
Back Kuzma received his papers along with the words: "That way, young man, you and train the pit enclosures, as the native homeland driven. :)

Hardly Kuzma Sergeevich (I think). Closer, I think, to the self-taught, non-professional icon-painter (but this icon does not lose).

Yes of course he did not.:)
Conversation over styling and similarity.
