Konstantin Makovsky?
 

Hello

Very interesting views of experts in this work.
Size Cloth 40h32 see in very poor condition, the signature is barely distinguishable.

1. It seems the error spatial distribution of elements human figures .
2 . Lethargy painting , I think, because of violations of the technology .
3 . However, the ability to convey the image.

If I understand you correctly, it is likely that this work was painted by the great Russian Wanderers, whose name it is signed?

Do not like the K Iakovskogo.

very unusual for Makovsky

Joan Chong, is very shallow for Makovsky.
Observed a similar job in the Museum there was an exhibition devoted to the House of Romanov.
dimensions were more impressive

I agree, and atypical subjects not quite it.
But something in common in the art definitely is, you can not find?

Joan Chong, which is common in the art ....

In my opinion so full creativity daub and Konstantin Makovsky irrelevant.

Chance is always there, but the disadvantages that I mentioned earlier it is reduced.
First of all coloristic . Lethargy color typical for beginners who can not be primed , do Imprimatur and have bad paint. The result - color lethargy .
Further, no hardness of the hand that is expressed as a preparatory drawing - look at the background ... For example, an experienced artist easily holds the line segments of equal thickness brush. The more able to build an architectural space .
IMHO. Most likely it is a replica or copy of the training , make a good artist at the beginning , but not master. About Wizard talk appropriate since delivered workshops artistic tasks , but with them the artist failed.

Yes , color, sonority come with age ! - Who was the author of whatever scenes, he is a good master! Shapes in nature , mimicry, proportsii.Da , and the prospects are not "Chinese " , so say hudozh.o back lane - ve . The backdrop is simply not registered, did not , you see .
I do not know about Makovsky , although there are all sorts and stripes and periods in artist.
To understand what kind of people are depicted : in general or on duty prosit.Vysoky butler clearly not similar .
