Bilibin, or a copy?

[Migis]

Good day Dear forum! I am a novice at the site of Babe, I live in Riga, I would like to hear your opinion on etoy work, like Ivan Bilibin "Volga" is not signed, registration - the 30s, does not print, may from time to time a little bit cracked paper, framed by the way in Riga (on the reverse side of the label of our Riga workshop, which sushestvovala in the 30s. I myself always the reliable long been engaged in the Latvian classical painting, sometimes you have to work stalkivatsya Belsky, Vinogradov, Vladimir Vysotsky and Klimov, but with them easier, so long as they time lived in Latvia and we have a lot of the museum always the reliable operations that are in the collections of our museum store, and if you really want too much - they can be viewed as a problem in our Bilibin. origin of this work - helped the granddaughter of one very famous in the 50 - e - 70 years of our collector to realize a very good collection of Latvian classics 2nd 3rd "eshalona" (Otto Skulme, Roman Suta, Conrads Ubans etc.), even a small Rozentals was among them was this work and a small sketch Dubovsky. The fact that the work is not signed - not the fact that he was not, as looking at books about it and there are some illustrations of the same were not signed and no initials. course theme of "Volga" it is very famous - UTB course gives clear. Although it can, and repeat Bilibin itself. Maybe someone just made a copy in his lifetime, well, very much professionally written. Here in Riga before the war was his solo exhibition, it seems like once in a while he lived in France. We have the same way in Purvitis last years of his life as nearly identical sketches written - in the same sense of a departure for plein air sketches he wrote few easy it is the same place, but sometimes as much coverage in the papers changed from morning toward evening. With Purvitis here in Latvia, just do a complete darkness - Expertise on the collectors without chemicals do not want to even look. If anyone has any inquiries on the Latvian painter or schedules - help than I can. I'm certainly not a great expert, but do Latvian classics are very dense and more than 10 years. I beg your pardon for so long the text. I look forward to your reply. Thanks in advance. Eugene

Not Bilibin.

It looks like the coloring, not painting.

Bilibin line limiting the use of color, and the prospect of creating a volume in the plane lista.Na your picture, it's just a path.

Your picture is a copy of the amateur freestyle.

The presented picture was on the cover of one of the issues of the journal "The Firebird."

That is not she, but the original.
