Alex, why so many of Zatonsky? Just to prove that he could be in the collection of minor things, amateur?
However, let's talk about Phillips ...
Picture looks really so? Or you shot through the green filter?
I now own answer to the question - how could a man with good taste displayed by you to buy something as a work of art?
And yet - could it be the familiar artist to give him this picture? But even without a signature?
My - very rough - version of this thing is that it was bought as a souvenir, a reminder to visit Sednief. How to retain some theater tickets ...
Yes, in the estate is preserved 600-year-old linden tree, under which, according to legend, loved to rest guest Lyzogubov - Taras Shevchenko.
Taras Grigorievich visited Sednief in 1846 and 1847. For the first time - when he was in the Archaeography commission dealing with the study of antiquities. The second time is just at the invitation of the owners of the estate.
That this fact and sends us a signature at the bottom of amateur work.
And it should be noted that not without humor there about the lime mentioned.
And if Zatonskii was a man with a sense of humor, he could himself to draw and sign ... Make handwriting analysis. What if?
