A copy of Plato's "Naymichki."
What is your opinion?

Lucian wrote the original Popov, Chariton Platonov has nothing to do with this work.

It is worth not much.

Is this thing does not JP

.. well somewhere , but not quite ... all have a bearing on <! - ~ 1 ~ ->
Chariton Platonov wrote this picture in 1886 . That's his signature .
And fifteen years later Popov Lucian also wrote the picture , and put his signature .
(located in the Orenburg Museum of Fine Arts ? !)

But the big question that L.Popov also wrote that "Naymichku" that Christie's sold for $ 42,000.
 

Probably just someone forged his signature on the copy

Well, the one on the " Christy ", written better than the original.

One can only assume that Com. Popov, someone ordered a copy and he has written.

Highly doubt it can , but what does not happen .

I've seen a picture of Korovin's " summer ", which is repeated , just for fun, one of the artists ' severe style . "

It was written as good comrade . Korovin , I confess .

And if he has put his signature , then the next . century in general, all stand in a deadlock.

At Christie's . Or at Sotheby's .
Or in Phillips.

Determined only by the presence of titanium oxide .

In fact, everything is much simpler.
 Chariton Platonov wrote "Naymichku," and immediately put it on an annual academic fair. In the exhibition the painting was acquired in the property of the Imperial Academy of Arts (in timing came from there), and APTAMATITSKI added to the list of originals, designed for student copying.
And repeat it, accordingly, could any studiozus. And Lukyan Popov - including. But something I doubt that the official copy of the original surviving author of the Academy, a conscientious copyist did not put before the signature of the few magic words or "Cb because Platonov," or "Cb because of such and such. Cop. John Doe."

In Orenburg Museum (Popov was born near Orenburg) stores the original artist. and the Museum of the Academy of Fine Arts - also original.

In addition to the above, I have to let us know as well as other paintings Platonov (Little Mother, Village Nanny, Maroussia, tramp, milk spilled, eaten pussy, Buy berries Zhidovochka, from work, Tatarka with the child, Gypsy etc), painting "Naymichka" enjoyed huge success with viewers, and have been reproduced in art journals. And in the interim it could copy the original, finally can anyone (and that actually happened. I have personally seen at least 2 dozen copies of varying quality).

But "Naymichku" sold at Christie's, to consider the work L.V.Popova can be either a very big hangover, or because of a truly encyclopedic knowledge of the staff of Russian ...
And at least it is strange that there are no references in the catalog or on the nature of the paintings authenticity, "Popov" or the famous original.
It would be like to write: "Wait, let go." Picture of the painter. Mazurovskii. "<! - ~ 7 ~ ->
