The huge old bronze. For help in the attribution is ready to reward generously.
 

FOR INFORMATION to pay, as they like to repeat to each other different fools themselves, as a rule, no useful information, do not possess.
Of course, more pleasant to receive competent advice for free, what is not personally convinced of times on this forum. But when writing the title came also from the fact that, find out the identity of the author will not be able to manage the available knowledge in the head and may have to search through a bunch of literature ...
In short, I'm not greedy, and within a thousand dollars to pay for such counseling will highlight with pleasure!

In essence the question:
Bronze centimeters in length and weighs 75-80 kilograms of forties. Guaranteed - before the war.
According to the owner, a Russian-type signature "Poles" was on the marble, then broken and discarded as useless. "Russian" version might be a dead end: no suitable Polyakov I'm looking for is not found. But lying to the owner was not much point: for the tiny price he asked for the subject, I would have bought it anyway. And anyone in my position would be acquired.
Also sure that any most long unsold authorship, Russian or not, the price impact - very, very, looks so cool thing!
Like, I heard somewhere saying bad for bronze "No signature, no author," but not in the same instance of a casting is made, hope springs eternal!
Photos made in the field, but, like, all they see.

Ah, had not been ... Paolo Trubetskoy to pay twice! <! - ~ 1 ~ ->

In my opinion, the chances are slight Trubetskoy.

In Trubetskoy no chance at all!

Rickshaw lucky "geisha" <! - ~ 1 ~ -> ... Oriental motif.
Probably, Harbin 1920

No- no, no , I'm not talking about the bronze. I'm talking about a rickshaw and a geisha .
No reason, no reason at all remembered: in the canteen of one of Moscow's museums 25 years ago were always on the menu two salads : carrot , garlic - " Kiss of the Geisha ", and beets with garlic - "Kiss Moshe " ...
Ate , and now - about the bronze. I think for Harbin 1920 - ladies dress in the wrong - with ... A walking - walking - Khalis , a pigtail !
In general , about the Polyakov Krasnikova ask tomorrow . Solely in the hope of huge rewards - it was too hotstsa OZOLOTITSTSA ! <! - 7 ~ ~ -> ( True , then we need to Krasnikova DELITSTSA ... <! - 7 ~ ~ ->)

Amateur, I was sure that what you add here Moishe <! - ~ 1 ~ ->, but not in a salad.
<! - ~ 10 ->

If not Russian zmigratsiya in Harbin, who is in a trap?

A Rickshaw weird - rickshaw to escape, but this barely leg interchanges.

Where he will take a passenger?
<! - ~ 9 ~ ->

Hmm ...
For artistic value - how to say four and a minus, that the author tried to compensate for different thingies , golf hats and ladies gubastenkostyu .
He did a long , thoughtful , time did not spare even now cast in bronze made ​​.
One can only have success with the public or the local Harbin did not.

Sculptor , maybe not the most zavyalyaschy in the first 10 000 sculptors of the 20th century , perhaps , and go ...

Ohohonyushki, well before then, am I predictable ...

That is . And what about the Krasnikov no - such - Polyakov does not know anything ...
The myth is - Poliakoff . And Harbin - a myth. ( And the pre-war origins , I'm afraid - also a myth. Phantom . Morok ). As a widow , then Bal'zaminova say? " Dreams that's all , my friend , so all the same - a cloud ."
Ah -ma , again not zabogatela ! And I really - dreaming , gave vent to their imaginations , and in the endless self-confidence began to think about buying a new washboard ... Oblomych bummer . Here's how we do in the neighborhood called ...
