This is not a canvas , the back of a very thin cardboard in place of loss , see a very loose weave , with a clearly visible yacheykami.Takoe sparse weave of the canvas , I have never videl.Seychas poor lighting, and that's what happened to foto.Naschet age , the paint is strongly hardened, so that 80 years is not a sevenfold pohozha.Smotrel magnifying glass painting is really old.

So cardboard or hardboard?

Exactly!

Dry up all impossible.

If accurate , Constantine , I do not understand mogu.Litsevaya side in texture similar to a highly sparse canvas, turn karton.Takoe feeling that this is a multi material.Ochen thin cardboard , then something like a canvas, but much thinner, then grunt.I it all much thinner than the canvas , the thickness of a thin cardboard .

Alexander may 1992?

I'm not sure what's not! But god.Mozhet signed in 1902 when he signed, he did not know the current year, and can confused??

Maybe this is not a signature?

Any artist under a portrait of a good deal written and signed, for example: http://www.geocaching.su/?pn=101&cid=6928/
