Ladies fancy images. monograph. "SM" (?) 1st quarter of the 20th century.
 

Here's a small (d = 9cm ) kruglyashok .
Most likely, the Russian thing , I bought 15 or 20 years ago in a (can not remember ) of the old collection.
Reminds even cover from the small box , but " consumer goods " such as Palekh in a style I do not recall.
The monogram is quite readable , so if someone came across this artist , and possibly will think ...

Corrected.

Ethnicity is not defined, but, in my opinion, the thing sovdepovskie modern and - judging by the manner and, in particular, little face lady: nashenskie face already.

There's two ladies. I do not know in which one face " nashenskie " but specifically detail shot cracked home a piece of wood frame and back, to try to convey a sense of antiquity. Not old , of course, but that is definitely a over 70 's. And in the thirties and sixties , so like it is not painted.
Although, of course , could be wrong ...

You know better, but I'm a character in a cylinder made for the man.


And now draw.

And the star with star says ...
And I thought (of course, only in terms of utilitarian !) Numerous wooden lids of boxes, Fechin painted in the early 1920s by the order of a Fortinbras at Umslopogase (and are now kept in the collection of the Pushkin Museum Resp. Tatarstan).
But on -time - agree with Cyril Syzran . Style ( and more - stylization :)>) , typical of the few Soviet design fashion magazines of the first half of the 1970s (especially - Silhouette ). Unfortunately, my statements seem unfounded, but the log is not at hand . 'll Get - certainly show what I mean.
 Here, for example , a similar visual motifs from the cover of an earlier magazine Femina . And " face ." (That said - making a difference ). Somehow , in general.
A frame - old.

Well, maybe , and really - the seventies. Although I still can hardly believe that anyone , having found an old frame and fit objects to each other, to about $ 100 ( do not think I paid more ) at a time to sell me ...
Sfotkal thing again at an angle to the surface defects were visible and the thing that seems to be the language of the coagulation varnish called wise men .
But again, the question is not the most fundamental , and if anyone says nothing monogram probably little point in this debate is not present.

And I'm still here what a handsome (or beautiful ) bought the other day. Honestly going to put in this section to establish the authorship, but it is so difficult to read the signature in the test, not being able to make a decent picture . Had to strain and dismantle the remains of himself, so the issue was dropped ...
Thought I'd see Wrobel to the Art Deco era , and it has not cooled to ceramics , it could give something sort .
But scary to think of what I could hear a lot ( in the sense - read a lot ) from local good people. Too, it is " in sovdepovskie " looks thing , I hope we all agree ? :)>
