Description is wrong. Georgia in the Russian Empire called Kartli -Kakheti kingdom. Georgia manifesto of Emperor Paul I in 1801 annexed to the Russian Empire. Mingrelia principality retained formal sovereignty until 1867 , when it was attached to the RI.

Kartli -Kakheti kingdom ( Georgia) and Mingrelia - two different states.

Like the section - " Arts and Crafts (135) ," a lot of good predmetov.Udachi in the auction ..

Anna Lebedeva, you - well done.
Quality of work, all chosen with great taste.
And the site is good, clear.
It is felt that a team of true professionals.

I am pleased to join the opinion of colleagues: collection - a very worthy .
A tiny addition : the original painting " Two Three" brush N.E Sverchkova previously owned I.N.Tereschenko . Reproduced in the album " The collection of paintings of Ivan Nikolaevich Tereshchenko ." Knebel edition . (M., b \\\\ d).
I am sure that you have this information , allowed herself to intervene because of the links in the directory not found. Sincerely, Dilettante .

Thanks for the detailed display of the pre-auction exhibition. Interestingly Lot-23 Aivazovsky "Moonlight" (46h69). The work is similar to the painting "Feodosia. Moonlight" (44h64) of Altay Regional Museum of Fine Arts in Barnaul. Dimensions are close, the story differs in detail. In Barnaul design chair and the other is worth it in the shade terraces, and in the work of the auction, the moonlight area. There are still a few minor changes. In all likelihood it is the author's repetition. Such plots are shown above, at an auction in 2007 of the "Moonlight" (15,7 x21, 2) 1881., But this work is much smaller and filled the tree. Her story in the figure shown at the table, recognizable figure of the artist.

But other work (lot-24 "Chaos. Creation" 1838.) Does not inspire confidence. All work up to 1840 signed the letter "G", or monogram of the merger of the two letters "IG", or "Guy" or "Gayvazovsky" but never signed Aivazovsky This autograph was first used in 1840. (There are two early works, where the signature was applied to a few decades later, but on the back of the paintings the artist's hand appended: "This picture is written by me in 1837." The same inscription is on other work, only year indicated 1839. And further explanatory inscriptions date in the first case in 1883, the second 1890. and signature.) In this case, the explanatory signs are not present, and the hand is not Aivazovsky, no water, no light on the seascape it does not belong. Although this work has already appeared at auction in 2009 and began to turn out myself provenance, but the facts - stubborn things.
