Painter died in 1943, painted until death. There is no evidence that this picture was published in Russian Empire. Needs proof or deletion. PereslavlFoto (talk) 20:10, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- In 1900 he returned from Munich to St Petersburg (so he was in Russian Empire). It was springtime[1]. The oil portraits needs more than a month to be done. In Munich Kardovskiy studied and most of his works are anatomical or for understanding of art[2], not official orders for money, as this painting. The sitter is Russian but is not famous in Russian history, no mention at all - not a countess, actress, or patron of art. Maybe it is M(aria) .A. Khrusheva who was teacher of Lev Tolstoy's children and than become a nun in Optina pustin as sister Anatolia[3][4] No evidences she had any means (money) to be in Munich, in Russian sources, for example, many memoirs of Russian painters who worked in Munich with Kardovsky - not a word about such work. It is quite reasonable to think that Russian sitter was sitting in Russia while painter also was in Russian, and than painting was published in Russia.--Shakko (talk) 11:02, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- Needs proof of publicating.--PereslavlFoto (talk) 19:08, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
Kept: if the protrait took more than a month, it's not reasonable to think that it was not for publishing Jcb (talk) 10:24, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
