Cerov?
 

not large portrait oil on paper was pasted on cardboard can this work belong to Valentin Serov very large loss of the paint sloya.Spasibo for help

In my opinion - no.
And this picture was created 50 years after his death.

Think this portrait is not made portraitist - anatomical distortion. Niizhnyaya jaw is offset relative to the midline. Facial bones are weak .

By Serov :

Serov, written in small letters.

It's symbolic.

You are not mistaken, this is not Serov.

I understand you, that classical artists not hold a candle garde .
 Classic portraitists are suitable only for villas in palaces for memories of ancestors. Under the traditional portrait is usually understood classics. For example: Titian, Van Dyck, B. ... Serov. Serov was the court painter of date , so it is with them and equate .
And is equal to , respectively , the classical canons of painting.
Imagine how canons fettered garde - uzhOs !

And why not "Cheese" or "Cirov"?

Why then, can and Serov.
But not Valentin!

To paraphrase - you never know Serov in Russia? ..

Sers
 

can anyone really say something or to attribute this work

You , in my opinion , quite a few members of the forum will definitely answer - the possibility of authorship VASerov negligible. Whose is this " hands "? Hard to say , surname Serov too common in Russia , so just to immediately determine who was fond of them at leisure painting.

And maybe just a fake with an eye to a greedy buyer dreaming for a couple oyro buy for " rustic" Seller " expensive operation " <! - ~ 1 ~ ->
