Evgeniya_K, if I understood you correctly, you want to know whether a copy (stored in your contacts) with a portrait by Kneller from the Hermitage, the work of Levitsky?
Levitsky made-up versions of their works. Could he make a copy of the work of artist Godfrey Kneller? That we can not exclude. Theoretically it is possible.
More precisely, this portrait was moved to the Hermitage just after the death of Gregory Potemkin in 1792 to the year. Perhaps the copy was made by request of relatives of Count Riboper. And perhaps a copy made Levitsky (the artist died in 1822). But it must be proved. First we need to determine the age of the copy. This is necessary in any case, if the work they want to sell.

You have correctly understood me.
I understand that the photographs did not identify the age of the paintings? Local experts have not been able to determine. But offered to transfer the picture to the museum. How much is it to write a good expert?
