Go abroad pensioner Academy, Vereshchagin visited all the major art centers, but mainly worked in Rome, studying and copying the old masters. Returning to St. Petersburg in 1869, he presented to the academy, in a report on their overseas studies, paintings: "Saint Gregory the Great punishes violation of vows," "Rendezvous with the family of the prisoner," "Night at Golgotha", three portraits , two large paintings and twenty watercolors, for which he made a professor of portraiture and historical painting.

In my hands is "Portrait of an old woman (obviously not of Slavic origin) on which the bottom of the front in black ink (or ink) spelled out:" authenticates OF MY FATHER'S VP Vereshchagin. EVG. YOU. Vereshchetin ... ... ... .. "

The work is written in the old gray cardboard, on the other side out of color ink stamp:


Confirms that НАСТОЯЩІЙ Fri old woman ISPOLNEN MOIM rest. FATHER PROFESSOR historically. PAINTING YOU. PETER. Vereshchagin, BYL may be for posthumous exhibition of his works in the halls of Imperial. Acad. Artist. Rb 1910 catalog for N 45 and Rb 1912 Rb GALLERIES Lemercier (Moscow) for N 29. EVG. YOU. Vereshchagin. "



Does anyone have information on these shows and what or whom this portrait is? Is he one of those 3-portraits, privezzhih VP with him from Rome? Can anyone have a copy of the catalog? Thanks in advance.

I think that Eug. You. is the daughter of the artist - Evgenia.
