It looks like a French work of the second half of the 18th century .
Type circle Fragonard.

However, special skills , I do not see it , frankly . The artist will be extremely difficult to establish , if at all possible

Price of gallery sales , voiced comrade . Guriev , Igor, in my humble opinion, is too optimistic. )

If someone is " Our Heritage " VI, 1991 (see photo) - open out of curiosity, page 9. There, in an article S.Shustera " Afterword ", shows the picture of the Unknown British painter of the 18th century . " Repentant Mary Magdalene " ( in the collection of A. Schuster , now GE) .

Pose for a picture of Mary , " NN" is very similar to the pose of "the girl " in the picture Default . The only difference is that Mary left hand pressed against his chest. Nothing , of course , does not speak , but to compare the interest . Such a feeling that this pose is taken from some well-known artists of their source. Sorry I can not now scan the image .

What are the assumptions? According to the author ? Age ? ... Also, do not understand the inscription on the reverse side.

The above inscription can conclude that the authorship of the paintings attributed to the Swedish ( by birth ), the artist Emma Lefsted - Chadwick (properly spelled her name as Emma Löwstädt-Chadwick, 1855 - 1932). Since she married an American named Chadwick , it is referred to American artists. Fairly well known artist , her work is in the network, for example, see

http://www.boohgren.se/konsthistoria...t-chadwick.htm

I should note that the submitted work is markedly different in style from the style of the artist , so that the authenticity of the inscription made ​​clear by ear and not the artist , remains in doubt.

From the above signs can conclude that the authorship of the paintings attributed to the Swedish (by birth), the artist Emma Lefsted Chadwick

Well, it is unlikely it is more like it could belong to.

By the way, and the picture may refer to the Swedish school of the late 18th century ...

Hardly.
I think that his own name, it would be written correctly.

Not the fact that the name she wrote.
He could have some of the auction house appraiser .
With the four-year education.

As the story I suppose , " Dionysus and Ariadne ."
The moment of meeting and vlyublyalova .

There is still, I think, late invoice inscription FE?
Whose are the initials?

[Игорь Гурьев]

Tov . Bagheera , I would still like to orient you on the value.

The author of this painting is not an artist either the first or second or maybe even the third row.

Summarize what I think.
France /Sweden , the late 18th century , probably, " Dionysus and Ariadne ."

Estimated price for Drouot on beskatalozhnyh sales - 1,500 euros.
In other countries in the galleries can be in three or four times .
