[Игорь Гурьев]

Such a thing is difficult to sell for an adequate price.

And not for adequate - it is unlikely you parted with it.

You might clarify what is meant by adequate and inadequate price?

Lotte, I have a small collection of Russian portrait miniatures.

If the authorship of your work certainly would have bought and yours.

What can I say about the authorship , if only yesterday , thanks Raskatova , learned of the existence of Natalia Mezentseva . Prior to this circle of acquaintances was limited to a very good St. Petersburg ballerina Galina Mezentseva .
How much are you satisfied with my assurance that this watercolor hanging in the house of my mother in law , since I can remember it ?

Lotte, A photo in the interior of the house , by chance , no ?
Please write on the chalk :
uri49@rambler.ru

That's come back to this picture .
And I still can not get rid of the impression that he had seen this work before .
Most likely this is a copy of the work of a Frenchman .
Who knows ?
How to place a photo and get an answer whose job it is ?

Very similar ...

On google " comes out " just Joe Masteroff, author of the musical " Cabaret . " Born in 1919 in the United States. Relative ? Surname rare ...

But his mother :


Rose Masteroff, whose family fled her native Russia a step ahead of the anti-Jewish pogroms, died on Monday at her Boca Raton home. She was 102 .

`` She looked maybe 80 , maybe, and acted in 1940 , `` said her daughter, Vera Korman.

Mrs. Masteroff was born in 1886 in Kishinev near the Black Sea in what is now the Soviet state of Moldavia. Her family fled in 1903 as the pogroms against the Jews began boiling over into Russia `s smaller towns. Her father, a salesman, and her mother, a physical therapist, settled in Philadelphia.

She made hats and studied pharmacy before marrying Louis Masteroff, a chemist, in 1911 . Her husband established Masteroff `s, a wholesale yarn, bead and needlecraft store on Arch Street. Mrs. Masteroff helped run the business and raised her two children - playwright Joe Masteroff of New York City, author of Cabaret, and Korman, who lives in Boca Raton. Louis Masteroff died in 1951 .

Natalia does not and is not an artist , alas ...
And Masteroff - according to her husband . Her husband , according to the name , may well have been born in France .

If this is generally correct name ... >
