Vasily Andreyevich Tropinin
 

Dear forum users, I propose to discuss the genre sketch V. Tropinin, oil on canvas, size 65 x 56. Signed in the upper left corner (highlighted) - In Tropinin 1825.

What is the signature wrong. Look how he wrote the letter P.

In "The old farmer" 1825 g, in signing the letter "P" without a crossbar, as you showed.

No need to analyze the signature, so it is clear that this is not Tropinin.

Tiutchev, whose sketches and it?

Bought at Cherkizovsky market?

Bought at Cherkizovsky market?

And they work too?

  These, indeed, real! Tropininskie! Good picture! Sale? :)

Throughout the creative Tropinin with greater or lesser interest turned to genre subjects, sketching scenes from the life of the streets, urban artisans and inhabitants. By mid-1830 were zadumanny but unrealized songs, which can be judged on the basis of pictorial sketches - "Buy apple peddler in" 1830, "Family Portrait" 1810, etc., namely those that exhibited above. By 1820, Mr. researchers attribute the only completed work Tropinina with developed genre - "The seller of firewood", written by lithography AOOrlovsky.

On the skill of the artist can be judged by the way written by hand. This applies to artists who have received just academic education. Compare and find out for yourself.
