Who could it be?
 

Found in its deposits, a portrait of warriors. Bought in time for the wicked and wonderful expressiveness earring in his ear.

Judging from the canvas - the origin of the work can be of Austro-Hungary or Poland (Ukraine?), Last quarter 19 century, so I think.

Look, who would it be? Earring, hat, frog, stick (or handle broadsword?) - These attributes are probably mean something?

Well the original is Rembrandt

Well, yes, of course it's Rembrandt, but in this portrait is the power and some his own unique and daring image that when resemblance to Rembrandt is also very horosh.Eto as Ukrainian baroque style, which looked at the Western European paintings and remake it in his Russian style . And so it turned out that the style that resonates with these portraits.

That's right, and so much.
And me - shame, classic not recognized! :shy:

But in fact, from Rembrandt here suit and a mustache. A totally different person.

It is interesting to here that. Orginal was traded from the Hermitage in 1931. A copy of this (or "based on") - apparently 19 th century. So, perhaps, is the work of Russian or Ukrainian copyist? Somehow I think that it is Ukrainian. Than motivate - I do not know.

There is nothing shameful and disgraceful not see!
All knows only Google and even a couple of people on the forum.
