[alexvadim]

60x50, canvas /oil, artist E.
Cleze, 1827

The inscription on the back "Comtesse Olga Gagarine"

[Wladzislaw]

Gagarin - the dynastic rulers of origin (Rurik).
This is some wealthy nobleman leaving abroad could afford to assign the title of count.
Titled Princes graphs - is absurd.

And why do you all have written?

Comtesse Olga Gagarine-translated and will be Princess Olga Gagarin.

Comtesse - Countess.

And why do you all have written?

I wrote this to the fact that the signature is not relevant to the stated character.

If the character - Princess and the signature - "comtesse", where the discrepancy?

[alexvadim]

The inscription on the back of the portrait in 1827 - "Comtesse Olga Gagarine".
According to the OR
Chromium (Institute of Arts), then a common practice.
Traveling through Europe nobles often ordered portraits from local artists.
According to the former Russian Commissar "Tajan" T. Baryshevoj, Russian titles are often confused in French.

[Wladzislaw]

This portrait is not known who knows who signed.


No need to come up with crazy stories of aristocratic life.

[alexvadim]

Easy, Wladyslaw.
There is no history of aristocratic life.
There is a portrait, is the inscription, there is a signature, there is a verbal art reviews.
Who was depicted in the portrait, I do not know - there were dozens of princesses Gagarin.
