Familiar Stranger.
 

When you look at an old portrait, start thinking about how it was reflected in the people. , .... Already seen where that person is , rotation of the head . and those eyes peered cautiously into something close to you
Where she came from which country and by whom written.
Maybe our fellow countryman .

Oil on canvas.
Canvas is not duplicated.
 54 x 35 cm
The portrait was roughly restored and glued .
Here are three pictures.
What is the opinion of experts ? And those eyes

This kind of freestyle with a copy of something, I think.

Something familiar ...

Vasily Tropinin

Zlatoshveyka

Cut off from the old podramnika.Grubo.
Maybe not kopiya.Pochti killed inept restoration.

Well, not a copy?
That's the same Andrei Zhdanov Tropinina remembered.

Yes, Zhdanov done.
I, too, about Tropinina podumal.No not vspomnil.Poka replied Zhdanov photos posted.

Yes, on the edges of the canvas is not primed, hanging is a rather shabby and thin material.
Subframe stranger.
The left edge and the top cut off.

Very rude.
And all the rough edit.
Canvas or carved or stretched on a stretcher and smaller rewritten almost everything, not particularly skilled, and perhaps recently.

Certainly, fresh daub and not quite skillful to hide temporary losses.
The work itself is certainly old.

And can not copy?
Etude? This course I boldly suggested.
