Good day!

The picture is old, after restoration.
About the origin story is dark.
Judging by the signature - Russian author.
I could not identify.

Help identify the author.
Maybe this is all a copy?

The character in the picture, probably Plyushkin, and the signature is not what to read, and could not see in this photo.
(Signature like Cyrillic and a samovar in the foreground)

Signed, I think - "A.Novoskoltsev."
(Ie - Academician Alexander painting Nikanorovich Novoskoltsev).
Something like that.

Thanks for the feedback! I have had the honor to make sure the high competence of the participants of this forum.
That's what I call myself this picture " Plyushkin " or " miser ." Not responsible for the restoration , as it was to me. The owner promised to send a picture to the photo restoration.
It would be desirable , of course , that it was Novoskoltsev . But, in my opinion it is not. Signature at Novoskoltseva another and read the names on the picture clear "W ".
However , the picture seems to me strong.

It's funny ...
The " Confession " signature differs from plyushkinskoy but "Svetlana " something very similar, really - the exact same title , but a capital "[SIZE=3"]and[/SIZE] " in its name , same cross crossed below the " n " at the beginning of the names , even just down below his signature in the end ...
