I think this lithograph :D

On the flip side - printing.

You probably do not lithography and etching. He came from the collection of the famous German collector Dorgerlo August (August Dorgerloh, 1819 - 1901). He bequeathed his collection of Koenigsberg Academy of Art as a gift, formed a separate congregation there (Dorgerlohsche Stiftung), whose seal is on the reverse. Author of an engraving (unfortunately, it is cut), I guess, but just to say I can not yet.

Yes, she is cut off, and apparently together with the signature.

Some Dutch 17 th century?

Shows a gentleman, the author probably too close somewhere ...

Rembrandt painted the gentry.

Even his son portrayed as lisovchika on horseback.

Well, I just got a question point-blank ... This Dorgerlo known primarily to the fact that he was a great admirer of Daniel Hodovetskogo (Daniel Chodowiecki, 1726-1801) - one of the most famous German artists, engravers. He was born in Danzig, and has Polish roots. Dorgerlo collected almost "complete works" Hodovetskogo that it was very difficult because he was very prolific - there are several thousands of his prints. But I do not dare yet to assert that the author has analyzed engraving is Hodovetsky, although he - suspect number 1, especially since hatching in the shadows is strictly parallel to the bottom lines of engraving - in his style. In Dorgerlo was a rich collection of graphics, there were a variety of authors.

In general, perfectly painted.


Hodovetsky, in my opinion, drier paint.

Added after 8 minutes
More Italy 18 th century a few renders, in my opinion.


This is a great master, in my opinion, from the first row.

And I think so.

Leaf through, maybe the literature of Stefano della Bella. But I do not remember such work. Must, of course, to look the book. There is the Polish language book (do not remember the name) about his "Polish" engravings.

P.S. Porassmatrival I did. Hat a bit strange. Venice? ... And, indeed, the hand seems to be Italian.

This idea I have.
But still in all of his prints shows the influence of style Callot, and here it somehow did not feel it.
