Portrait of Nikolay Gnedich by Anton Ivanov. 1835. Marble.
The medaillon on the tombstone of Nikolay Gnedich in the Tikhvin Cenetry, Saint Petersburg: the marble replica created in 1961. The marble original of the medaillon (1835) is kept in the Annunciation Church of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra.
Primarily the sculptural portrait of N. Gnedich was attributed to the Samuil Ivanovich Galberg (1787—1839). Later Elena Karpova, the curator of the sculpture collection of the State Russian Museum, advanced another version: the bas-relief was created by Anton Andreevich Ivanov (?—1852), a pupil of Samuil Galber. This version is based on a report in Khudozhestvennaya Gazeta (Artistic Newspaper, 1841), where the portrait of N. Gnedich is mentioned among works by A. A. Ivanov and on the list of works by A. A. Ivanov in The Lexicon of Russian Artist by Nikolay Sobko.

Saint George. A fragment of the destroyed sculpture. 1464 (?). Coloured stone. The Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia.

The statue was a decoration of the Frolovskaya Strelnitsa (barbican) of the Moscow Kremlin and, later, of the Spasskaya Tower (initially the Frolovskaya Tower) built in 1491 at the site of the demolished barbican.
It was believed that the statue was sculpted by Vasily Yermolin, who was known as a merchant and contractor. Now reseachers call this attribution in question: Yermolin was the purchaser, but not the author of the sculpture. Most probably, the statue was created by masters from Italy.
