The seller of gypsum figurines by Karl Gampeln

The picture “The seller of gypsum statuettes” did not have the date of writing, which was established, thanks to the very plot of the picture.

The basis for the dating is awarded medals on the chest of the old soldier: “In memory of the domestic war of 1812” – was established on February 5, 1813; “For the capture of Paris March 19, 1814” – was established on August 30, 1814, consecrated in 1826, the distribution was delayed until May 1, 1832; “For the Turkish War of 1828-1829” – was established on October 1, 1829; The cross “Polish Uprising of 1831” was established as a medal in the same year; “For the capture of the Warsaw attack of 1831” – was established on December 31, 1831, therefore could not be heard until 1832, which determines the dating of the picture.
