Wonderful portrait. Wonder who painted it? Almost looks like a Sargeant.

I initially wasn’t sure but, prompted by your comment, I did a quick bit of further research. The post has been changed to reflect the painter: Osip Braz.

Thanks, maedez. It is a really good portrait. I am always curious about the artist. I researched a name I could barely make out on a tiny little painting I have and saw that he made many little paintings and several of them have the same little green pot in them.

I think so, too. I love that your little painting artist has a trademark. What is his name? I am just curious. Many artists put the same thing in all of their paintings, like John Stobart with his whiskey bottle.

His name was V. Weley, maedez. You might see that little green pottery bottle in a few paintings in a Google search. I have a few things I have used more than once.

I will definitely do a search of his work, as I am intrigued. Are you willing to share the things you’ve done more than once, or is it a secret we must figure out for ourselves? 🙂

Chekhov — the short stories. Words cannot express. And, thanks for the portrait!

He has been one of my favourite writers since I was 12 or 13, so I agree. I think this portrait is heavenly, too.

I agree with Vickie: although I know Chekhov is better known for his plays and as a playwright, I feel obligated to like them or at least know them. But I prefer his short stories. They are more off-the-wall and break all the rules.

Chekhov is one of my favourite playwrights AND short story writers. His work is sublime. His contribution to the modernization of theatre is incalculable, and his short stories are phenomenal.
