Russian Cats or Russian Bears?

We and Shishkin know the right answer:

Ivan Shishkin, Morning in a Pine Forest. Russian Cats or Russian Bears?

The truth is that Konstantin Savitsky had painted the Cats but the art collector Pavel Tretyakov effaced his signature, stating that “from idea until performance, everything discloses the painting manner and creative method peculiar just to Shishkin” so the painting is now credited solely to Shishkin.
