Today, one of the auctions in Germany, was sold to the work of Fedor Andreevich Bronnikov (1827-1902).
Oil on canvas, 88 x 113,5 cm
Care, taking into account the commission about 100.000 euros.
The work did not overlap, canvas, frame and frame homes (from a phone call from iskustvovedom auction)
Note the last photo, photograph the back side.
In my eyes, the material well, not as not up to 130 years .:rolleyes:
Judge please.

Robot in the whole course, elegant, but it seems to me that the hand is disproportionately small.
A general frame and canvas may well survive if there was no temperature difference

What: Left or right hand on his stomach on the child's head?

yes, she said.

hand, too, have ... :)

Veronic, compare with the hand on this work:

In this photo: frame - not native. At 100%.
Drip from the top of the frame reached its bottom and canvas are not affected.
Photographed frame can own only when one single condition - the abolition of the Newton's second law.

I think I see traces of paper, which was sealed around the perimeter of the back of the frame. If so, it protected the back of the picture of the impact of external factors. The dust may not penetrate the front or the back side. Himself a frame (if it is pine) has acquired a natural reddish tint. And all of equal importance is the conservation factor (constant relative humidity and temperature), and the degree of care for the picture. Those who have spent today 100 thousand euros, I think, were able to verify the authenticity of the paintings and, accordingly, its age.
For more conclusive findings would have to watch the stretcher and canvas in hand.

sergejnowo, now this canvas + -70-80 years, you can compare too good conservation.

Oh! This is meogoe explains.
And even such a "lifting of Newton's Second Law".
