AN? Stepanov
 

Gentlemen Not help to determine whether this A. Stepanov?

Stepan's a lot of my "knowledge" is not enough, I can only say that it is not A. Stepanov:)
The work was purchased in 1905 at an exhibition in St. Petersburg.
Located in one place. In 1960, the canvas was perekleen on canvas.
Rama's relatives. Interior dimensions 25h45 see there are minor defects in the paint layer.

I would be grateful for any opinions, advice and recommendations.

Gentlemen
Most likely, I could not state clearly its request to vam.Poetomu and no answers.
I hasten to correct and, perhaps, experts respond.
Can this picture Stepanova represent artistic value and if any how much can be (very roughly, of course) cost this work?

heir, if your AV Stepanov-Aleksey Stepanovich (1858-1923) there may be pictures of artistic value.
Only your marina is not his signature.

Thank you for your response!
This is not Alex Stepanovich. He has a signature similar to the bracket. For the-round. At first I thought that Alexander - too conspicuous figure. But no one marina not found. Whether in fact not, whether bad looking.
And how do you vzgyad, style, attention to detail ... if you simply speak the impression?
And whether you accidentally book or painting with the signature AN Stepanova? I would be grateful for the help.

They are at least three to one born in 1846. And the second I have no date and third-1861-1911.
But there is also Aleksandrovich, 1856 pp.;
other for years are not suitable.

I'll see tomorrow.

  1861-1911 - is Alexander Stepanov.
Whom I was "suspect" in the authorship. A graduate of IAH. "Bytoopisatel" the landed life. Marine works I have not found.
 
But on the other "persons involved" I did not succeed - without books and manuals.

  But Alexander Alexandrovich (!) Stepanov for me a completely new character. Maybe he?
Most likely, given that I have two prostenochnye paintings with marine issues, the Stepanov specialized in the Marina. Otherwise why "messing a little water?

I do believe that without a facsimile of this puzzle we do not face it.
I think that only a signature will help to establish authorship. Because the hand is quite confident, trained, masterovitaya and somewhere he had to "light up" - for some collections, museums.
Moreover, with nameplates and paintings were bought from the exhibition more than a hundred years ago ..
Therefore, and came to this forum. I'd like to find out.

heir,
In the latest ranking Stepanova seven people. AS and AN Stepanova do not fit the authors style of your pictures for captions. Same AN Stepanov and signed, with full initials, letters and other spelling the end of the name.
AN Stepanov just one, but not "at least three."
Stepan's with years of birth 1846 and 1856 no.
Alexey Stepanov was born in 1967.
And if based on Stepan's a rating, but there still are the names of famous (and not so) artists, then it may suit Aleksandr E. and Alexander Fedorovich Stepanov. Unfortunately samples of their work for comparison I have not. If it is not them, then it is an unknown science Stepanov.

Only now, it drew attention to it. Participation in this exhibition work something confirmed? The label on the back, etc.? What the exhibition was held and where?

Are you sure that the signature on the painting Stepanov,
an increase in the first letter H is similar to more than A
not be a signature N. Stepanov?

Dear Heir! Painting is posredsvennaya.Vryadli expect
What is of particular interest, respectively, and prices.

Since then, Russia has experienced three revolutions and the blockade.
I know only one thing - great-grandfather took a couple of pictures of this Stepanova from the exhibition.

In the second pair A picture is visible very clearly.

I can quite agree. Of course, not Aivazovsky. But there are amateurs. Great-grandfather bought the same with clover-father and Shishkin ...

SIRS Please accept my sincere thanks for your help and your time spent. Sincerely, Valery.
