File:Boris Sheremetyev.PNG

The painting is out of SCOPE, because is seems to be modern pastiche/fake. Reasons:

• The author, date and location are absolutely unknown, that is strange for such well known in Russia person as Boris Sheremetev
• we can't find no analogs in his well attributed portraits (see in Category:Boris Sheremetev)
• The style is not 18th century - clearly looks like some 20-21st century Russian painters (Nesterenko, Shilov)'s work. Please note too bright red draperies and too smoothed sky, legs to thin. For me, with my educated eye in Russian portraiture, it is quite modern. Please note the difference - file:Boris Sheremetyev by I.Argunov (1768, Kuskovo).jpg.
  • So, authorship is unproved, and it can be deleted as copyright violation
• The source of upload was the site of hotel [1] named after Sheremetev, it seems to be simply the part of PR. -- Shakko (talk) 16:08, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
