Help, please, attributing
 

Good evening.
Help, please, attributing the picture.


Thanks in advance.
All Happy New Year.

Read the date 1915.
The rest is hard to see ... It seems that as the rank and surname of the artist's image or ....(?).

Here, in my opinion, there is little chance of finding the author if there is no direct signature.


Pretty picture, but an amateur.
A lot of the captain skillfully so do a portrait in 1915 at their leisure.

Once again, hello.


Painting - oil on cardboard.
1915.
Signature is not legible.
Once again I took a picture of a professional camera.

I distinguish:


1915 PAN?


Pawlowski ...
?

Or "Par" or "tar" ;)

Go to the military forum, find out what the shape.


Maybe it Pavlovsky regiment?

Policeman any.

I think maybe - the date (1915), the place - Paris.
:)

And below is a surname.
Rather an artist than an officer.

That's what I thought at first.

But the Russian Expeditionary Force arrived in France a year later, so that somehow I can not imagine that there is this "traffic cop" (in my opinion, rank is not very high) could do.

Most likely written here-1915.
Lieutenant Pavlovsky.
(And like straps as appropriate).
If this is a family heirloom, then look for your ancestor with that name.
At the expense of form, I can not say.

With photos redrawn, I see.
