Indeed, the argument format is not in favor of the artist. It should be noted that the 38H18, 5 is not standard French format, which works for etyudnogo character used by Russian artists in France often.
Unless, of course, is not a piece of the picture, a larger format of which it is cut and stretched on a frame size.
Another consideration. On the lower right denotes the location of the landscape: HAVRE. French way to write is not allowed. Right LE HAVRE. Hard to believe that Bogolyubov, who has lived half his life in France, and who knew the French language might as well write.
