Thank you for your opinion , Jane Doe, but it seems to me that in the course of our discussion, there was a substitution of concepts. We considered the watercolor sketch, whose photo I posted at the request of IV. It was about this sketch Cyril Syzransky wrote that he looks like Benoit . You are analyzing another sketch (ink, pen ) and monogram underneath. But the authorship of Benoit in the case of this second picture and it did not go ( I only surmised , no more) . This sketch was sold as a work Bilibin - that this attribution , and I would like to confirm or refute. As for the labels in the figures , they are made in pencil .

In general , it seems that it is one and the same character and costume, and therefore the author of them - one. And it is not painted - probably the final version .
