Defining character
 

I have a pencil drawing of Sergei Vinogradov - 1917, measuring 42 x 34 cm, pencil on paper
with an interesting inscription:
bottom middle
"In memory of Ivanushka Catkins"
signature "C Vinogradov 17"-lower right.
lower left "October 16"
So much for her look, I'm always curious to know who is depicted in a portrait?

Vinogradov in Kharkov was friendly with Dr. Favre, a relative of the family Favreau was the son of the abbot of one of the parishes of Kharkov - moloizvestny artist Ivan Filevskiy.Iz briefs Favre shows that Vanya was acquainted with Vinogradovym.Na photo Filevsky with his mother in the early 20 th century, to understand that either difficult to picture but nonetheless .......
And in general in 1916 - 17 году Vinogradov spent much time in the Crimea, there can still search.

I think that is a natural self-portrait Vinogradova, there are photos of an earlier and more prosperous time in his life. The figure he was slightly overgrown.

rolls, Well, thank you!
I suspect that this self-portrait. But that's the photo I had later.
And late photos were the same eyes.
But I was reassured one gallery owner. Straight nevertheless categorically said no.
But the worm of doubt I ate. And I am glad that these worms are still living in us at times.
Again many thanks to you!

Do not like it on a self-portrait, look at the connection of the nose and cheeks.

Although you never know ...

But do not seem to like ...

If you would like to smile and the second photo, you can and would pohozh.IMHO :)
