My opinion is that, presumably, is a French artist, who arrived in St. Petersburg - Jean de Vele, "Self-portrait" painted by, among other things, is stored in the Hermitage. Then de-Велий become "the Devil" ...

"Golden Age" of Russian portrait called the reign of Catherine II. In a military portrait of the traditions of ceremonial portrait, with styling similar laudatory odes: a striking pose of the model, taken as a full-length, high-talking style accessories, draperies, columns, jewels and shiny fabrics, rich colors of the active color. Among the transition work belongs to "Portrait of brothers Count Alexei Grigorievich Orlov-Chesmensky and Prince Grigory Grigorievich Orlov" by Jean Louis de Valley. Artist passes and special merit portrayed: GG Orlov points to the scene of the epidemic of plague in Moscow, in getting rid of which he was directly involved, AG Orlov in the white admiral's uniform, is portrayed with honors them in Russian-Turkish war.

Thank you Vivian, very interesting. A ссылочку or photo on the Hermitage is not a self-portrait Put? If you believe the stories of Perm Jean de Vele, de Велий, Devil could live around the middle of 18 century, and draw a portrait of Grigory Orlov. Engraving same (Chetesova?) On this figure could be held in the early 19th century.: Confused:: confused:: confused:
