As for the character - a portrait gives, I think, enough data. The uniform of the Order Plus - a specialist in military costume has much to tell. There is a Gorshman (Expert) - masterfully determined.

I like to feel that he or Georgian, or Armenian, vobschem person kakvazskoy nationality. He has an eagle eye. And as I said in my Rasul Gamzatov, \ eagles live only in the mountains of \.

Seema, thanks!
And how to find this Gorshman?

uriart, A. M. Gorshman-known in Moscow, a specialist in the study of Russian iconographic portrait X! X in. Historical metodom.On subject to "free bread" was not so long ago.
I know that his father-known Jewish artist Mendel Chaimovich Gorshman.
Yes, and SA Podstanitsky, when he worked in the Grabar, the same did. He now has its own gallery.
I Sandro gave as a link to it.

Cyril Syzransky, I even started from sospostavleniya AM Gorshman and S. Podstanitskogo. I knew the latter as a specialist in horse portraits (without riders). The truth was let10. Is this progress?

I am not familiar with it. Familiar with its attribution. For awards, incidentally, has established the identity of the image.
I understand that it's not only knows how difficult, I have somewhere in the butter and the book are examples of attribution and the tables with some, but here I had not felt in these wilds faleristics in those uniforms ...

Seema, some people grow! : D

uriart, look at home, MB I still have some phone, but remember that it was a working telephone, but he probably already advanced years and there does not work. Type in Yandex, there are a few of his books. Look at the military-historical forum - somewhere it should be visible. MB some of the older generation here knows him. I first encountered it 25 years ago, he just shook me (I really was young to even wildly) - all said to go and heart - about the uniforms with dates of change (ie on the shelves and rank) of orders, tapes etc. True, he was not personally involved. But ideally given search direction. Now somewhere came across his work on determining the age of military uniform, ie and in this science - progress.

Cyril Syzransky, well, then, S. Podstanitsky - fellow.
Exactly. Mosproject. I think it is useless to look for.
I had gone a button "thanks". Appeared.

Seema, you need the address Podstanitskogo?
