Miniature
 

Good day!

Immediately apologize for the pictures, but so far only those

the size of the image around 15h12sm x \\ m, pasted on a tree

Help please for the artist and maybe who is depicted?

Thank you

On the back of miniatures is the word "Viollier". You never can tell , there is a chance that it is - the work of Henri Francois Gabriel Viola (Henri François Gabriel Viollier, 1750-1829), Swiss -born architect and artist , who arrived in 1780 in St. Petersburg at the invitation of Grand Duke Paul Petrovich , in in 1784 became court painter . A lot of work miniature ( see the embed . ). As part of the architectural work in the Mikhailovsky Palace in Pavlovsk and Gatchina . Actually, he was known to connoisseurs as the architect of St. Petersburg .

On it is written (in Russian ) in many places , but the information is scattered . Biography is given in

See, eg,

Viola laine and St.Petersburg in December.

Dedicated to translate the word failed.

Can anyone help?

Or so read, faine?

faine - a fruit of the beech tree.

but there are over e - Axa.

laine - wool.


It is not clear what it is, in general.

Yes, I saw Axa.
Just with my keyboard it is impossible to write.

I'll tell you more.

I have an old (1870) French-Russian dictionary, and there I found the word.
