And why did you decide that this is a sketch for theatrical scenery?

On the reverse side of the pencil inscription - decoration .

Gentlemen, I understand that the author's version of the signature no one.

Are any assumptions?

Perhaps the author of this sketch scenery , stage designer , set designer Peter H. ( N. ? ) Shildkneht. He served in the Mariinsky Theatre. Among the various versions of the staged " Aida " (and they are at the Mariinsky Theatre since 1877 , there were five ) were the most memorable performances , marching in the scenery of Peter Shildknehta ( statement of 1922 and 1948 ) . The last statement of 1998, the theater again turned to sketches Shildknehta .

tandem, well done!

Good for you - the artist !
  In 1919, the Opera and Ballet Theater , formerly the Mariinsky ( since 1920 Opera and Ballet are officially called the State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre ( GATOB ) in Petrograd was staged opera Gounod 's "Romeo and Juliet " directed by - the boss . I dare assume that this is the backdrop for this production , but the sketch depicts the Ponte Pietra in Verona .

tandem, here I do not agree. Two nights looking for this bridge. And concluded that it was the Ottoman bridge. Architect Sinan! Look - a very specific details on legs. The more so that the sail boat - the crescent moon. About Sinan - MB and a joke, because all his (or his "studio") bridges are known, and I have never found - but that the Ottoman - whether in Bosnia, in Azerbaijan there or somewhere else in the vast territory - that's for sure.
Well here it is necessary to stop in time, as if this decoration - the bridge at least architecturally and faithful in detail, but sufficiently conditioned. In combination with a boat offers some Muslim stuff. But here perhaps more - in 1916 - a year of active hostilities, Russian troops in the Caucasus. And there are two options - or decoration on a politically topical theme, or a sketch artist who was called up. In 1916, many artists and architects mobilized to the area Sarakamysha, Trebizond, etc. True, there is a war waged in the mountainous terrain and the fierce winter of irrecoverable losses were just frozen. And the picture is not winter yet. This sketch of the bridge of Ottoman architecture came to me at this point - I saw the theatrical sketches on the back of the drawings with the profiles of the trenches, various communications and engineering works for the Russian army in Turkey. These achievements of the Russian army gave impetus to the study of late Byzantium - Trebizond Empire, archeologists and artists (again!) Worked there for emergency excavations. Here are my observations. And with Shildknehtom you good! The manner of his monotonous, but typical.
