Grave Vera Feodorovna

[Eriksson]

Dear Sirs
Please rate, female portrait of Grave Vera Feodorovna (1828 -?). Oil on canvas, 69h 54 cm

Perfect condition, frame home, a modern frame.

Member of the Imperial Society of Russian watercolors, a participant of the First Ladies of artistic circles.
A pupil of Repin Tenishev rates.

  In his letters to Princess Tenisheva Repin mentions it more often than others: "Received the first number," praises:
(U Grave scene backstage circus. Gymnast looks at the boy accidentally killed the son of: ran in terror and other family members. In the distance arena more jubilant, and suffused with bright light, shining and here, on the contours of the figures.
Done very artistically, all the shapes from nature, spots of light
picturesque - drawing in black sauce). ,
reports that he bought one of her works.

Swedish experts find it difficult to assess because of the Grave has never been sold at international auctions. The fact that the portrait is written in typical Russian Repin school - confirm.

Maybe someone knows about her life and work? The last mention, I found - she had participated in some exhibition in St. Petersburg in 1918. The designer postcards, participated in the illustration sobr.soch. Pushkin.
Date of death unknown. Can emigrated, perhaps - was killed in Russia?

I would be grateful for any information and evaluation!

Two days passed, no one answered ... Or about this faith Grave nothing more is known?
Perhaps, if the order price at the portrait of someone can give, that is, from experience? By analogy with other artists of the same series?

Eriksson, you know, portrait genre in general is a hard sell, except for a very famous masters.
Your work deserves respect and shows that the work of a professional.
Surcharges should be imposed assessments and sales-is difficult to say anything. For fans of this genre go.

In the years 1905-1918 Kovalenko organized 16 "periodical exhibitions of paintings by artists of the Imperial Academy of Arts and other Russian schools." Active work Kovalenko aroused interest, attracting a growing circle of artists. Profit from the organization of exhibitions, sales of works allowed some leeway in buying paintings. Due to this, for example, in 1908, 5-th exhibition gave a considerable number of important works: "By the evening of" KD Svischevskogo, "Svyatogor Knight" and "Spring" VN Fedorovich, "Summer night in Finland" NA Maikova, "Village Aid AP Khotuleva, etc. The most significant acquisitions in 1909 with the 8-th of the exhibition were" stacks "VN Fedorovich," Gypsy "and" The Model "NV Kharitonov, in 1910 with the 9-th exhibition - "Summer residents' GP Svetlitsky," Cloudy Day "SF Kolesnikov, in 1913 with the 12-th exhibition -" Lady in semitone "S.M.Slobodyanyuk-Podolyan ; in 1916 with the 15-th exhibition - "Tea Rose", "Roses" PI Perepletchikova; in 1918, with 16 exhibition - "The lady in black hat" G.
