Good evening!
SW. experts, please help with the definition of authorship and the value of the painting. What is Your opinion on the level of the artist?
Size 70x50 cm
Sincerely, VIA

By signing - a Schultz.

Sults, but unfortunately, not Carl. And the portrait is nothing so cute.. :)

For the beginning of the 20th century is very weak portrait.
Bast painting.

Opinions are certainly divided. It is cute, cheap popular. What can you say about the price?

Bast doesn't mean not cute :shy:
Just drew a dilettante.
100$ or so, the case when the restoration will cost more than the work itself.

Isn't Repin painted, and not even Savrasov, and as stated above: "a Schultz". And painted quite well.
If it's a portrait, I'm sure the model was satisfied, and the artist received his fee :)

Normal operation, assuming that this kind of Schultz, but to sell very problematic, if they will buy it no more than 8-10 thousand rubles, or less.

Yes what a Repin, but what Savrasov, by the way?
Here, even just the end of the Imperial Academy of arts does not smell.
For the County of Amateur artists may be okay.
For the title of Artist - weak technically, or rather nothing at all.
For the price here as do not going to consider anything worth it :)

It seems that this portrait is made by copying from photographs of faces and further processing in the style of the famous costume ball 11 and 13 February 1903, a key requirement was invited to come in costumes of the XVII century.
Released later special gift album "Costume ball in the Winter Palace" has created an environment-specific fashion for such dressing.
