Fyodor Petrovich Tolstoy?
 

Ask to speak about the small picture . By signing Count Fyodor Petrovich Tolstoy . Yes, and the manner . On dried leaf (which is a leaf I do not know ) a beautiful watercolor . In two places the leaf lightly come off . Do you think it's now or have reason to doubt it? Dimensions 05.24 x 18.75 cm photos are not the best quality , but many of them . :) >
Thanks in advance for your professional opinion .

Tolstoy more classical, but it's too Biedermeier, and the very idea - kunstshtyuk some, like souvenirs.

Blagodaryov,


Sim salyabim!
Ahalan-mahalay!
Lyaski-masyaski!
- Signed!
just not him.

It is not clear.
Take the trouble to translate to "art history" language to Russian public.
And I would like to know your arguments.

Sincerely.

Blagodaryov, let yourself see what kind of watercolor by F. Tolstoy (and note the signature):

Thank you for participating in this thread . These pictures of course I saw in the internet . And a signature "cool " by using various computer programs . And imnno it led me to think that my student's signature , children or something . Is in flux . And the list of school herbarium also suggests that the may is very early work . Sorry for the year have not been delivered . I'm not saying just guessing . But certainly not a souvenir products . Status of paper and even within certain very old .

And you have not had an idea that this is just someone clumsily attempted to sign the picture " by Fyodor Tolstoy ?
Got someone to this figure , that someone found a similar " in an Internet " twisted " by means of various computer programs " podisi and, as I could, signed this sheet . :) >

Everything is possible .... Many craftsmen .
However, the color of ink on the signature and the framing page ( double frame ) is identical , as it were burnt brown . I do not know maybe it is just those who were called walnut ink . But it's all from the discharge of assumptions .
Got this picture in a small Antiques in Europe . The seller said that it was them they have a long time. If verbatim : "I was 8 years when he came to the picture was . " No more information on the picture there .

Oreshkova ink over time, only darker and even burn the paper through . Look , if she does not become thinner where written . Sometimes even the place of ink drop - and receive a hole on the paper in the form of letters . Note that the leaf and tropical butterfly . In Russia, the largest butterfly with tails on the wings are only two : Swallowtail and podaliry . There is clearly something southern . So it does not seem to put up your image has been created " in the language native aspens .

Not a fact .

Indeed Oreshkova inks have a high acidity , burning out over time, the paper , but if the ink is too thick , they may also fade . Burns will remain only in the area zatekov . A really good drawing paper to burn through the last 200 years ... to put it mildly , a very rare case. Often found similar documents in paper thin and very poor storage conditions.

I do not think that in this figure indicated the owner would see your characteristics .

(Although I also think that it's not Tolstoy )
