If I may ask, would it not be unusual for the rich class to commission or buy a copy, especially during Vasnetsovs lifetime?
redbor, I agree about babys leg. It was explained to me that it is the difference in standard light brush technique of academy training versus a deliberate impasto technique. The difference in the size of the works may also be an explanation.
Also is not the author trained in academic painting and iconography?
Thank you.
