Expertise no.

Thank you.

French appearance.:)

I think that this is not Albert Nikolaevich Benois. That's my signature with his watercolors. Maybe it's Albert Albertovich? But then your watercolor he wrote in 19 years:)

Not exactly Bakst.
Similar him there, but very, very doubtful. Reflection of rocks in the water in the foreground ... m-yes ... But about Albert Nikolaevich I know very little. Or there Albert A.? Designer of the church of Saint-Genevieve-des-Bois? Signed this it is similar. There, after the capital letter "A." No?

For example, I do not know this.
In AN Kuznetsova and Maria Nikolaevna was the son of Michael.

"... We Tcherepnin he first met with composers A. Arensky and Taneyev. Arensky, a pupil of Rimsky-Korsakov, was" a witty humorist, "" intelligent, modest and original student of Tchaikovsky's "Taneyev" fond platonic " Leo Tolstoy's wife Sofia Andreyevna. Ibid at Tcherepnin visited singer Mariinsky NM Kuznetsova, the wife of the eldest son of Albert Benoit Albert Albertovich. Semenov-Tian shan even acknowledges that "Mary Albertovna found me some very great similarity with his uncle, the artist Alexander Benois. "
But in general about Albert Albertovich mention a few, but his paintings there:)

No, I'm from "Benoit" go out there you can head to break ... : eek:
Signed just not the album. Nick. , The one printed in Latin letters signed ...
Yes, of course, is that Albert Albertovich Benoit (1879-1930) was the wife Maria Kuznetsova, an opera singer, the Mariinsky Theater (1880, Odessa 1966, Paris). They had a son, Michael.
This I do on these Benoit slightly stunned.

Yes, semeika not a little:) I in them, has lost. But presented here is not exactly watercolor ANBenois! Yes, and Bakst weird ...

Over Benoit in question will offer $ 400

I do not understand.

In my humble understanding the true Benoit is somewhat larger. Counterfeit Benoit is not worth anything.

There is one work with a very similar signature. Sold it was at Sotheby's in 2005 as the work of Albert Nikolaevich Benois. But I also tend to think that this is not the album. Nick. In my opinion, not his style. A general need in the local database to dig a little longer, maybe there is something interesting.

Not always in Latin, Cyril, often Russian. But, as a rule, actually printed.

All Albert on memory does not remember, look at home in the memoirs of Alexander Benois, they'll be listed in detail. Maybe your there.
