[AlexSpb]

Just repent, allowed himself a small joke. A fun and practical jokes are different from lying, except for the lack of selfish interest, I believe, by the fact that they need to be recognized quickly as possible, which I hasten to do now.
Korovin Still Life claims, of course, Alexey Korovin. Perhaps, however, to Constantine, and so no one thought it did not become me his flower as the counter-arguments lead. In short, I admit that nothing funny has failed. Even Igor Guryev changed his usual metaphorical language and very dull branded some things, "the district clubs" (he knew he had in his city GP, what are the things in the early 90s came from the district of clubs and resorts former)!
Returning to the subject. Not seeing any clear argument against it, still tend to make some money for the things to offer. Say at once that the reference pictures, a couple of them spread, naryl only that, when opened the subject, yet did not see them (I still did not have someone here to check the consistency of art history, where to get her!).
The level of painting (in Lapshin, at least) such as is necessary - it is a masterstroke. It has many colors and a great stability in them can not be traced. In general, yes, less tranquil than the proposed colors and colder, but the typical potbellied glass vase, many of his paintings is present, all matters may not remove, but still - pretty strong argument. A reference image selected from many similar not only because of the vases, but also on the similarity of "staging" (desk, draping), in contrast to the characteristic of a "window" background.
Surprisingly, and Korovinskoye vase (bottom differs from Lapshinskoy) was found among his belongings, and yet both of these things recently sold!
It turns out someone specifically for my sketched two vases that for thousands of small to me these things to offer? Hard to believe! But look at Korovin, in this sense it is more revealing. Craquelure the gray paint, which is covered by the lateral edge of the countertop with a signature, in general, less pronounced than in the rest of the surface of the painting, but, nevertheless, is very characteristic. And I dare say that this is not craquelure "baked" and called into being without the participation of the so-called krakelyurnogo varnish. In general, the picture leaves one feeling that any interference with the pre-war times it does not suffer, even to the nails that fastened the stretcher, nobody touched!
In addition, both the artist years, say, twenty years ago, were obviously not among the very forges, that is, it's hard to imagine that someone decided to make them in those days.
Still, I think, we should take into account the fact that the picture together. Probably, each of which may be questions, but some general strongest arguments against me, the life of me I can not see! Rather, it suggests that they originate from the collections of a humble lover of flowers, and, therefore, to indulge in large grounds there is no spy. However, there are people who just revel in their over-caution in purchases. Well, they are, and I - the other ... In the end, not consciously earned money, is money - lost!
In short, summing up all of the above, until the evening and put up with - make my decision.
