Are you completly sure the Ivan Nikitich Nikitin's portrait is Pavlo Polubotok?

On http://nearyou.iatp.org.ua/art/nikitin/20nikget.html it said: О лице, изображенном на этом портрете, строились догадки еще в XIX веке, когда его называли то Мазепой, то Скоропадским, то именами других украинских полководцев. В последнее время было выдвинуто предположение, что это литовский гетман граф Казимир Ян Сапега. Как бы то ни было, в творчестве Никитина картина занимает особое место, ибо здесь он неожиданно из блестящего мастера парадного портрета превращается в художника, читающего в душах, создает трагический образ сильного, властного, много перенесшего на своем веку и исполненного скорби старика...

If it is certain, I will change the caption of the portrait in the Nikitin's article from the Malorossian Hetman to Pavlo Polubotok (its officially known in Russian literature as Напольный Гетман, but I don't know how to translate it in English - Floor Hetman?). If it is not certain, maybe the other portrait should be used for the Polubotok article. abakharev 00:50, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
