In the larger piece with the signature through the painting reveals the "crumbs" ... 150 years ago did not allow themselves to leave the ground without grinding (it's the artists allowed themselves much later). These chips can be seen in modern soils, because difficult to buy tonkoterty chalk and dry zinc white, too, leave a crumb. Painting professionally, but rude. Perhaps it is a copy or a fake or just "in the style of" those "still-lifes. Signed a bit tasteless and too rude is drawn ...

live, I would not say. In reality, the height of the letters of 4 mm.
true. It should be noted that the soil is very thin and the tree structure is clearly visible through the paint layer. However, this natural pattern of wood, in my view, skillfully used by the artist and the "integrated" in the samples in words "cracks of old age" on a cup in the background.
Perhaps.
But in any case the old.
Board light as a feather. Baguette really very similar to the native size, color processing, an old, handmade with remnants of gilding.
Talus paint layer in the bottom third, linseed oil, turpentine does not smell. There was preservation and strengthening of the paint layer.
Just state the facts but I am confident that everything can be counterfeited. : D

I will make and set up a decent picture of a tree with the back side.
Maybe artist otzavetsya .... : D: D: D:

Baguette on delivery fell apart - to glue itself.
Previously the board was "closed", pasted paper, - the remains of paper and on baguette, and on the board.
Age, 150 years old, pointed at my feeling is that the reaction to the color of wood.

Who can comment on photos?

Logically, it is clear that this is not the original classic still-life 17 -18 centuries.
In my opinion, it is not in the style of 1850 - 1900 period. I think, as has been pointed out to-Maler, - in the style of "those" still-lifes.

and you have pictures of his work there?

"crumbs" ...

The technique of painting I ram. But do not agree with K-Maler about the "crumbs" ... : cool:
Took a week of time to investigate.
I walked the local auction house and looked into the living old work on the tree. Asked auctioneers of technology on a tree in 18 - 19 centuries.
Pick open a couple of crumbs on his picture. I looked through a lot of material on informationnyh sites on the Internet.
My conclusions:
- Boards decently grounded, as a rule, only under the order or work to the exhibition. For the consumer boards just glued it once without mixing tonkotertogo chalk. Factory boards sold as a primer, and without it.
- "Crumbs" occurred not on the chalk or belill. And on my board, and viewed on the boards is nothing like bits of paint. Moreover, the basic colors, ie pure green or pure blue. In other words crumbs originated in the preparation of paints.
- To make the subjects "Îáüåìíûå, sometimes prescribed paint pictures with purposeful adulteration of such chips. No accurate movement and on you ....
Well this is the case, reasoning and a needle in his hands and chronic doubts in my head, without a guarantee of truthfulness. :)
