The work of Mikhail Ivanovich Lebedev's pretty rare in the sale. This is most likely due to the fact that he died at the age of 26 years (from cholera in Naples).
One of his job to sell at Christie's in 2005 for 10200 pounds, as shown below the picture - at Sotheby's in 2004 for 840 pounds.
And yet it seems to me that the author of this painting not a swan, a signature on your painting is not like the signatures of MI Lebedeva, listed in the directory Solovyov. Yes, and a drawing you will see that they are different. Incidentally the same year - 1833.
