<p>[QUOTE="April07, post: 681746, member: 7302"]I am having a second look at it and I am doubtful about its age. For example, pay attention to the prolonged lighter spot next to the left cheek. It appeared because the artist wanted to make the contrast between the shadow on the face and the background .- something that I would expect from a beginner. The colour loss could come from the excessive amount of turpentine or linseed oil that the artist used for thinning the paint. The portrait is indeed very well-made but I wouldn't discard the possibility of a student in a decent academic institution, something beyond Glazunov's followers' stylizations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
