There is clear discrepancies in the information provided at the originating website on the artist and the painting

very strange: 1st link shows official website of the Tretiakov Gallery, and there we see this painting as Alexandr's work and dates that it was done in 1805-1806 and Alexandr also was born in 1806. It clearly is mistake in Gallery's site. In article in en:Great Soviet Encyclopedia (Russian variation of Brittanica) about Alexandr's father Andrey (1776 — 1848) is writing that Andrey did this painting. It is better source. In other webgalleries it also goes like Andrey's work, and I've cheked by my paper books at home - it's Andrey's. I'll write to Gallery site support about their mistake.--Shakko (talk) 09:45, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
