Portrait of an old Jew
 

Hello.
Tell me please, who is the author of this portrait?

Tell me how high the level of skill of the artist,

approximate time of writing the work.


Size - 25cm x 18cm.
Oil on wood panel.


Please excuse the poor quality photos.

Level high enough, the work was written, in my opinion, in 19. But not very clear to turn the board over your photos.
He has something painted?
Some kind of light he ...

Signed large, can I?

Something in my signature is seen Romanian, type [FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Ciucurencu[/FONT] or Cuculescu ...

That he was from "The Portrait" Gogol goes, looking for his hozyaina.Vot to us prishel.Tolko he turned away, apparently he was tired of looking at us.
Work cool!
I've caught myself thinking that he looked at it 20 times and she told me more and more like it.

Can be read as Chirilescu.


Face is written very well, but too little hands, strange somehow.

Such motives were quite common in Eastern, and Western Evrope.Schitalos that the image of the old Jew with money always helps well-being and business success in the shops, cooperatives, inns and traktirah.Pisalis and sold sotnyami.Dazhe and now can occur in sales offices in the form of reproductions.

Beautiful work ruki.Rama nothing.

Only a disproportionately small.

Palm length generally must cover the entire face upon application thereof to the person, if not bald forehead.

And you wanted the hands of blacksmith, miner and cattle?
