Portrait of an old Jew

[Ika-Ika]

That he was from "The Portrait" Gogol goes, looking for his hozyaina.Vot to us prishel.Tolko he turned away, apparently he was tired of looking at us.
Work cool!
I've caught myself thinking that he looked at it 20 times and she told me more and more like it.

Can be read as Chirilescu.


Face is written very well, but too little hands, strange somehow.

Such motives were quite common in Eastern, and Western Evrope.Schitalos that the image of the old Jew with money always helps well-being and business success in the shops, cooperatives, inns and traktirah.Pisalis and sold sotnyami.Dazhe and now can occur in sales offices in the form of reproductions.

The signature on your picture I would read as "J. Christensen", and, possibly, "J. Christinsen". The website http://www.findartinfo.com/search/li...hn_Christensen
is a Danish artist like John Christensen (1896 - 1940). The main part of the mentioned there it works - still lifes, interiors and genre scenes - written in the 1920 - 1930 and dated by the author. But apart from those of his works there mentioned "Betender Rabbiner" (Prayer Rabbi), "Jüdischer Alter Mann Beim Zählen Des Geldes" (Old Jew, who believes the money - it's not analog, has your work? Size 29h21 cm, wood /oil), "The old jew "(Old Jew) written on the tree. A site
http://www.lot-tissimo.com/de/o/114....Cdischer_alter says that these jobs are created in the XIX century.

The latter in itself is puzzling in view of the born in 1896. Secondly, all the rest of his work well, does not fit into the Jewish subjects. Third, he signed as "John Ch.".

I guess that is a mistake, and that the artist, who wrote on Jewish themes, although it bore the same surname Christensen, but he lived before, and he's not John Christensen, who lived from 1896 to 1940 (a similar confusion in findartinfo met more than once).

On the Web I came across only a reproduction of "not your" John Christensen, and their style is very different from that in your picture. Reproductions of the same "your" in an open network is not, and to consider them, you must have online access to findartinfo or www.lot-tissimo.com, but I do not. Maybe there is someone from members of the forum.

By the way, in Denmark last name Christensen in sixth place on the prevalence. There are artists there with similar signatures, but not the same.

Only a disproportionately small.

Palm length generally must cover the entire face upon application thereof to the person, if not bald forehead.
