Portrait of an old man - a familiar manner?

[allexx]

Colleagues,

At one of the Western auctions stumbled here on this portrait. I do not know why, but it reminded me of a portrait of Dostoyevsky (work Perov, I think) - this general impression, and realistic writing, and drama performances. The artist is unknown. Abstract indicates the expected 20-th century (domyslivayu that the first third, no more, although such a plot and brushwork rather typical for the last third of the 19 th century, in my opinion). What do you think depicts a Russian man or not? Or just think of the proximity to Western European and Russian schools of painting the late 19 th century?
