Surikov, Sketch "Archer's wife"
 

Prompt, ECW Press, for evaluation.

Dimensions: 49 x 38 cm.

auction estimated at 30,000-40,000 GBP, but there's this thing passed as [I] Portrait boyar [/
I].


Incidentally, for the members of the forum would be interested:

Took place, but did not sell.


Or the price is too high, or the reason is something else.

As says "clear sign". Maybe this is the reason?

It is about the same , " Archer 's wife ," as well as " noblewoman ." Peasant 's Southern ( Kursk, Belgorod etc) province in Happy holiday attire.
Authorship Surikov did not want to write (the thing seen ), but stylistically - close does not lie .

We must admit that the "helmet" on it is really like a "helmet" with Archer's wife picture "Morning Strelets'execution" ...

"Helmet" like Kichko called ...

Helmet - it is not in " The Morning Strelets'execution ." Helmet - is in " The Morning of the Kulikovo field." :)> :)> :)>
But in fact , festive hats, sometimes - very ornate ( with gold embroidery , beads , the usual drop and entire design Lacing from the river with the addition of a pitched pearls) peasant women in the neighboring districts of one province often differed greatly ( in Torzhok - one, in the tooth - others in Rzhev or Kashin - third ).

Kika - horned.
Rather - kind magpies.
But in fact they own (not the night be commemorated) leg break.

But not Surikov - exactly!

At that name I shudder runs through the body.
However, in this case, there is another "art criticism" "expertise".
Tomorrow will set scans.


P.s.
wondering what is the responsibility for the authenticity of a "MacDougall's".
