That's a pretty big Suvorov1 there, huh?

Painting is based on a 1944 portrait of Stalin that was very popular in the USSR. Hereis an original of the portrait that I got in a few years ago. I need to frame it better.

as you can see - it was painted by Russian artist - here's the reverse of the portrait:

yes, and it was misidentified by the moderator as a wartime M1935 portrait that was "modified" by the addition of boards. I think we all know here ots a postwar painting showing the generalissimo tunic in wear circa 1948-1950.

Bust of STALIN - amde of porcelain circa 1949.

It was made in Leningrad by State Porcelain Factory.

Stalin was around 70 at the time, but bust was made looking much younger to please him. Just the temples are a bit gray. GLAZED.
