It looks like a remake.

It looks like a remake?

SemenSemenych, does not seem like you put it mildly, that is a remake!

Only a mother Empress why that person as a horse's muzzle.

For what?

Always a little shy the first to write bad things about other people (perhaps mindful of how Ivan the Terrible before his famous son trained staff on a messenger that brought the bad news ), but the subject of the famous !
Located in Europe , wandering from shop to shop, and all against him for a long time unclear.
By the way, made ​​a bad thing , and if it were not for the curves Russian sample , would have a chance to go for the production of exile first half of last century.
As for the "horse " face, so you never know who and how artists flattered ... I, for one , has long owned a portrait of Lenin of 1923 of the Sokolov- Scalia , then decorate office of the chief editor of the " MK". So it Ilyich too recognizable with difficulty. :)>

There is a pedestal disgusting.

AlexSpb, why I wrote it.

I have the original bust, casting the 19th century, according to the model Rashetta.

So there is a normal person, not a horse face.

Yes , uriart, all right, the same as you , all Catherine imagined. But who can guarantee that it is this she was ? And I'm really only about that. It is not from the ceiling by a bust took its just such a way , not from inability is he portrayed it !
And remember, recently on the forum topic as there are different portraits of one person!

And with regard to Catherine, is unlikely to be an expert - in the iconography dig. Rather, any researcher who specializes in "Memoirs of foreigners" would issue a "horse " to clarify ...

AlexSpb, this "horse" made a sad sack who copied bust.

Portrait of Empress huge amount.
And none of them, it was not presented in such a terrible form in this bust.
