"That's why in this figure paintings typical of Aivazovsky songs we do not see, it is just a sketch, and the composition most often built by the artist directly to canvas.

In this case, all right, because we compare the construction of tracks
 correct to-be (which I did) - the picture with a picture, not the picture of the finished fabric. Although the paintings would also cost-comparison.

meaning in this case is as follows:

What would be exactly sure of the authorship of Aivazovsky, you must
first make an analysis of the paper to meet the mid-19th century.

Then remove all the controversial issues related to the manner of writing the "volley" and many other elements in this figure.

Important role in this case will play provenance pattern.

It was, of course would be better if the work was signed by 1839 year, when the artist painted images from nature, as a witness amphibious operations.

In 1840 Aivazovsky could write the ship's volley only for the memory
 being in Feodosia, Yalta, Kerch, on the way to St. Petersburg or in the St. Petersburg on his way to Italy or in Italy. <! - ~ 1 ~ ->
