Portrait of Alexander Pushkin
 

Dear forum users. Today brought the picture, and argue that work-early 19 th century, and I
It seems that this is a painted copy, senior students in the early 20 th century.
Interestingly your opinion.

It seems like. :)

VA TROPININ - portrait AS Pushkin

No, of course, is a modern forgery. Poor painted (where the ear? "And the skull bones are not visible on site), and so damp at the time did not write, and manner of such did not exist, only a Goya in Spain, allowed himself to write so freely and virtuously just portraits. And here, just a nightmare. I do not like. Secondly, to the memory of Pushkin's treated so reverently, that any portrait of him became known, and this would also know ...

Ugly work

Obviously, your painting - a copy of this work, or with sources-cards.
