Yes, me too, but apparently Ukrainian girls and their temperament is very similar to the Italians, and in the 19 century, some artists "Italianate" South Russian women Valais, no? Here, for example, two of the TG Shevchenko, by the way, and a ribbon in her hair, not a wreath.

counter-question, and flora (plants /botany), and Ukrainian countryside?

What is specific in describing this work?

But nothing is written. Simply "German school". Neither age nor the author, nor even the frame, just the photo of the canvas. Regarding the flora, it is quite local, with a slight touch of romance. Such vegetation and topography are also present in Germany, and near Kiev, and near Prague. None of the Mediterranean is not observed. Here are two fragments.

I still think that the work of some sort ... not quite alive, if so, frozen ... written technically literate, but without a soul. Maybe, hence the definition of "German school"? Or is it a varnish?

perhaps.
In my opinion, this work for commercial reasons, not very promising.
N /A, who and where is drawn is not clear - not fish, not meat.
For myself personally, if you like, another conversation.

Petersburg Academy, too, the German school. Fastest painting removed by the fascists during the war and because of the small thin. values fell to the west and went on the knuckles. Close to Briullov, its influence.
