https://doi.org/10.30764/1819-2785-2023-4-36-45
Abstract
The article considers the experience of researching the works of fine art in situations of recourse to specialists in the field of forensic portrait examinations when deciding on the attribution of works in cases when art historians do not solve these issues. The study of the physical features of the depicted persons using the method of portrait identification allows to establish the identity of the characters on the painting. The author also demonstrates the specifics of the methodology of such studies.
