Provenance
It has been suggested that Feodor Chaliapin, the great Russian opera singer, most known for his role as Boris Godunov, was the sitter for this work.
Condition
Could use a light cleaning, scattered specs of house paint on surface. Frame rubbing. Canvas is slightly buckled on the stretcher in the lower left corner. Very faint 1 inch scuff at lower right center. Few very tiny paint flakes at bottom center. Otherwise in good condition.
