Portrait of a Woman
 

I want to sell a portrait by an unknown artist, presumably the end of the XIX beginning of XX century, the size of 64 * 49 cm, oil on canvas, no signature.

Help to understand the artistic value and the cost of the work.

Yes , the portrait can be dated , obviously, since the 1880s .
Strong commercial is not ( tea is not a young girl with a bunch of flowers , and some butch aunt with the look of the school kindergarten teacher ) .

The quality of painting on such a photo is hard to imagine smears can not see at all ...

Perhaps the artist studied at the Moscow School of Painting , Sculpture and Architecture , or at the Academy of Fine Arts.

Yes, the old lady now out of fashion.
A painting like and nothing good clear picture should especially the face, it is quite professionally done, though boring

Not this old lady!

I will try to make a new photo with the face and the larger swabs were so kind!

Syzransky seems finally came to believe that the island - easy.

Syzransky lives among mordvy , in my village ( in the village , actually ) was Samara Rakowski Holy Trinity freelance residential nunnery , which was founded in 1859 as the time for the nuns Mordvinian nationality.
All the natives of our seats or Mordovians , or Tartars, or conservatives .

It is clear to you Mordovians bo-o - lshoy specialist .

Actually mordvy not exist: there Erzya and Moksha - two related people, but each with their own written.

In the USSR, the inhabitants of Mordovia ASSR passports were in three languages ​​- Russian, Erzya and Moksha.
