It seems whether KA Somov?

[Jan]

I ask advice from the experts. According to the seller, it is - the last self-portrait intravital Konstantin Andreevich Somov (no examination). Can you believe this? Signed - Cyrillic: "K. Somov" - and this is the main argument of opponents of the authenticity of the portrait. However, canvas, primer, and manner of writing is very similar to the manner of the great romance - this is orally informed the expert consultation Tretyakov Gallery (in the State Tretyakov Gallery, it seems, is limited to providing services assess the paintings). Thank you in advance for your attention and advice.
