heir, nothing strange in the signature can not see.
I had a job Vereshagina size 24h18, on the theme "Shipka", "A soldier of the Russian army." The signature was complete - V. Vereshchagin.
And the work has passed all examinations in Moscow, even in the 90-ies.

Work was - oil on canvas?

Regarding these pictures follow the principle - "All doubts are to be interpreted in favor of the accused." If it is proved the obvious.
  And yet proven. It is hoped that not prove - sorry to be disappointed.
Still ... examination was? And where they spent?

Something This model?

[Hobbema]

Thoughts were on sale, but at the price I thought. Considering the proposals. By the way, I did not expert, but I am inclined to think that the picture is genuine, given that it was acquired by an old professor's family many years ago.

Signed "V. Vereshchagin 1864"

If the conversation is about Vasily, the 1864-th year, he number of formal student IAH to 65 th, the fact has left us with her in 63 th and made a trip to the Caucasus "with artistic purpose," and already in 64 nd went to Paris, where he remained until the winter of 66-67 years. while studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in studio J.-L. Jérôme.
And when it comes to Vasily Petrovich, he was 63 to 69 Messrs. retired IAH abroad. After visiting Berlin, Dresden, Vienna, Munich, he settled in Paris, and a 64-second, he lived and worked in Rome.
By the way, presented a picture more suited to him. But the signature ...

Nothing is meant.
"Professorial family" could hang on the walls of his house professorkogo anything if he professor is not an art critic, of course, and even then, not a fact. I know that sometimes have art hanging, they laughed: "The shoemaker without shoes, as always ..."
And some of the paintings have already sick, though his eyes rest at home ...

.. about Vasily, the 1864-th year, he number of formal student IAH to 65 th, the fact has left us with her in 63 th and made a trip to the Caucasus "with artistic purpose", and in 64-m away in Paris, where he remained until the winter of 66-67 years., .. What if .. of Vasiliy, he was 63 to 69 Messrs. retired IAH abroad. .. a 64-second, he lived and worked in Rome ..

  So I think that year raised unsuccessfully. Neither one of the cycles VV.Vereschagina not fit (only slightly to the Caucasus).
Pro Vaslui Petrovich in Rome, of course.
And the painting itself - that depicts?
And it seems that if a girl dropping her hands, then to the ground,
but to his knees as if she'll get.
Signed tighten to Vasily Vasilyevich, but does he draw?
Even in 1864-m.

Given that this is not a girl but a grown woman, mother, that is, physically formed man - no awkward teenager, your observation of more than accurate.
But the judge only on the Constitution of the European race of our days.

Cyril Syzransky, so this exercise and similar to the one that was with me.
And this work does not pull on the plot Vasily Vereshchagin.
Perhaps it is Vasily Petrovich? Although the monitor is not a make out.
Moreover, there is no work for comparison.

Hardly ... For directories it is characterized as a "serial academics with excellent training." Well, here we see that:

Yes, it is difficult. But in the State Tretyakov Gallery is B. Petrovich.

That's what I thought. I think Vereshchagin they did with a couple of dozen for gifts as souvenirs of the Balkan war. There is still the same soldier, but turned in the opposite direction. The idea is not mine, a prominent Moscow, told the judge he made a dozen opinions on these soldiers. All poddlinnye.
