Portrait of a Woman, watercolor, Pushkin's time,

[AlexSpb]

In the mind should be, of course, call the theme of "Portrait of an unknown old woman ," but I must somehow lure the topic of potential " razgadyvateley "!
I think the serious money in any portrait is not necessary, but leave it a little will not ( I guess I " gerontofob "). At the same time sad that a simple, seemingly , the signature can not read . Actually, the only difficulty with the first letter (or two ).
To clear my conscience got in the search for "artist Gérin -dimensional ," but, as one would expect the word " artist" did not help the cause .
The information will be grateful and, of course , is ready , ( first of all - discoverer ), the subject of this cheap offer.

Pushkin time

I can not believe this at first sight, so sorry.

No do not insist on anything , but the signature is , the year is shown in the very type of his age. And the thing itself , such that the problem - for penny we fooling with you , does not seem very cost effective ... Young descendants of the old masters with their words recalled something about a " portrait of the artist's mother ," but nothing more specific , so it did not even give this information immediately .

Actually, strangely enough, that was not found.
Claims, as I understand, Ivan Mikhailovich Zherena.
But he does not he have a question for the experts.

AlexSpb,

If you sell, is willing to consider the proposal.

... We ourselves are not local ... Here in the attic kartinochku found ... some Benois ...

I, of course, far from considering themselves the most honest person on this forum, but this kind of fraudulent tricks - totally alien!
I'm a very age and from complexes on such occasions, I was too late: I declare responsibly that the word Gérin until today had never heard, and, therefore, no matter what my photos are not "claimed" my ignorance when vykladyvanii was absolutely sincere!
So, in connection with an explanation, you SILENT Sapa, thank you so much! I do not know what could be useful for you ... If you happen to be in St. Pete, let me know, please, we go somewhere or congress ... I hope, at least once to talk with me you will not be bored!

And with regard to the very water-colors, wishing to offer in a personal voice their views about the price. Actually, I have this kind of "auctions" are usually not inclined to hold, but I'm still away, come back only on Thursday-Friday. Then orient about the price and I think that can be quickly over the next weekend to decide the issue. Besides, the thing is not purchased, and the owners want to pay for it more, thus justifying their great trust in me ...

In general, the style and manner of taking the person (or rather, not to take, as if he does not want to stare, do not want to dress up, go into the details - too) - very similar to the comrade.
Zherena.
