Help determine authorship
 

Dear Sirs, please let us know what their views on this picture: authorship, etc.

zh-igor, a copy or explanation. If no signature, recognize the author slozhnovasto. In the best case, can someone tell with whom /by whom it is written.
The work may be 100 years and 100 days. In any case, the work not later than the end of the 19 th century.
In my eyes, the artistic level, very low.
In addition to the hands are weak and not proportional to the lower part of the face just did not succeed.
But the point is not even that.
To generalize, the image Penitent Magdalene /Mary Magdalene at the cross, the artists primarily focused on the image of feelings and emotions. Up to the ladies in a trance.
Your work in this sense has failed.
Here is the other extreme:

Rather than 100 years, all the same. :) "And maybe all 150.

Hands-yes, but what happened to the "lower part of his face?
Compositionally strannavataya thing, as if cut ...

I do not remember what the museum, clung to the group, which commissioned the art historian.
Well, just a theme has been beat about the Magdalene.
The most important element in the image /perception of repentance or suffering are the hands.
Then the eyes and lower face - lips + chin.
Type the expression of mental and physical suffering primarily manifested there.
In the work shown no chin. Without emotion, even just schematically traced, as if frozen.

The width of the painting 35cm, length - about 45cm.
