Rembrandt - these two images
 

Dear Sirs and ladies,

propose to compare the two works:

one - the board, oil, located in the Hermitage.

Other - oil on canvas - Private collection.

Your comments please ...

Lotte, you should contact the Board of Rembrandt in Amsterdam.

There are dotted.

Too far away to be ...

Lotte, you are sure that the Hermitage is a job ? Frankly, I do not remember this portrait . If you are not hard , could you please clarify , based on what sources you are saying that this picture is in the collection of the Hermitage as the work of Rembrandt ?

First - Rembrandt, the second I would have doubted.

This work even on postcards from the collection of the Hermitage was published.
Then its authenticity questioned - I do not remember exactly, but most likely rembrantovsky Committee, and the Hermitage stopped it openly exhibited.

Added after 3 minutes
It just gave on the expertise of the Hermitage.
They said that it - the studio of Rembrandt, a replica of the work that has been in them and which is itself in doubt.

and the more you have anyone in the world , and nothing fundamental will not say.
So :

This work (Bust of a man in a beret) is mentioned in the Web- directory http://staff.science.uva.nl/~ fjseins/RembrandtCatalogue/r_1641_1650.html
as questionable , debatable and not accepted by all attribution . The second work, probably a copy . Looks fresh . About the time of writing, talking on the photos is difficult , to give to technological expertise .

Hermitage did technological expertise, which confirmed the affiliation of the 17 century.

Experts are not sure of the authenticity of Rembrandt's drawing found

WASHINGTON, August 21. U.S. experts doubt the authenticity of the drawing by the Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn "Sentence", which last week was stolen from a Ritz-Carlton hotel in Southern California and two days later, tossed in a neighboring churches.

As the Los Angeles Times, none of the experts surveyed earlier figure was not known, it is also not included in the six-volume catalog of Rembrandt's graphic composed Austrian scientist Otto Benes in 1954-1957, respectively. He's not in the list of 70 drawings by Rembrandt, whose authenticity has been established at the beginning of this century, Peter Shatbornom.

"In my opinion, it certainly is a work of the school Remrandta, and not the master" - believes the ex-curator of the Dutch charts in the British Museum, Professor Martin Royalton-Kish.

Recall, August 16, police found the stolen U.S. design by Rembrandt, worth an estimated $ 250 thousand

Theft occurred in the evening of August 13, while an unknown visitor at the hotel "Ritz-Carlton" in Marina del Rey was distracted by her supervisor.
