Robert_Hall:
Thank you Fontanka ! ` Makes sense to me now !

Arleen_Ristau:
Thank you so much Rob for posting this auction.  People like me would never have access to anything like this.  

I've spent several hours studying everything listed.  Some of the paintings are to die for.  The Nicholas painting by Lipgart is the most beautiful I've seen of him.  I can only hope that we can find out who buys it and thus know where it will reside.  Wouldn't it be wonderful if an American museum would buy it.....just dreaming.

I was very interested in the painting done by Marie Pavlovna.  I love that little painting of the red tulips.   I'd never seen anything she painted before, and the same with Olga A.  The three little paintings by Olga are also priceless to me. I wish I could bid for them.

But the opportunity to just look thru the whole catalog was a real treat.  Bob and Rob it was so nice of you to post it.

There is a Sotheby's auction of Russian art coming up on April 26 & 28 if anyone's interested. The pieces include a portrait by Boris Kustodiev of Marie Pavolvna the Elder, the wife of Vladimir Alexandrovich, in court dress. The portrait is estimated at $700,000-1,000,000. So if anyone has a spare couple hundred thousand dollars lying around, take advantage of this auction!  ;)

Hmm, now where's that million dollars I had lying around? I'm sure it's under a stack of laundry or something...

GD Alexandra:
ha, ha,ha  ;D...well don't worry, my dear, I'll gladly lend you the insignificant sum until you find yours  ;D  ;D
