ALEKSEY AVVAKUMOVICH NAUMOV (RUSSIAN 1840-1895)
Country Tailor
1873
oil on canvas
61 x 50 cm (24 x 19 3/4 in.)
signed in Cyrillic and dated lower left
LOT NOTES
Aleksey Naumov was a celebrated Russian painter of genre scenes. Graduating from the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg in 1872, he was promoted in the Academy in 1873 for executing a live study for a portrait of a country tailor. The finished painting was also exhibited in London, where the artist was honored for it with a silver medal. Given that the present lot has the same date of creation, as well as subject matter, it is entirely possible that the medal-winning painting is the present lot. Coming from a private U. S. collection, this work could have been purchased at the International Exhibition of Arts, Manufactures and Products of Soil and Min–µ of 1876 in Philadelphia, in which Naumov took part, also presenting his prominent works Kurnaya Izba, An Orphan, and Sheepherder.
