Russian (?), The pre-revolutionary (?) Landscape. Signature illegible.
 

An hour ago, brought the thing home, risking to buy for a penny in a small shop . During this hour in the direction of attribution niskolechko not move even half of the individual bukovok causes great difficulties ... In any case, live by this artist in the hands did not hold , it seems, never ...
But for hit ( a mess , of course) , to which I , as you know , is no stranger , like, large premises can not see ...

I read the name as "Helmets"?
He was an artist Theodore Helmets 1884-1957 (as one of the possible versions).

Thank you for anything ...

Although the name of this I have never heard of and even in a huge database of this site to find it but could not.

And most importantly, it is not obvious place, like, the letter "b" at the end of the signature, which personally I see the main justification for the "Russian trace".

Take a look here:

A sign reads: "In 1911 Helmets -" sorry I can not see his work ..
<! - ~ 1 ~ ->

Nice picture, is clearly an amateur landscape, but a penny well spent.
A very positive thing <! - ~ 1 ~ ->

The first course "B" final "Z" penultimate "in" or "to" fourth "to"

Did in 1911 the preposition" in "was written not as a" Bb "?

I see it as V. Diklan

I would not want to impose their views of interested , but Joanna was already almost sounded .
The last two letters " Bb ". First , obviously , the name - " B." Then the first letter of the surname is quite similar in shape to a "B".
And then the most " harmonious - readable " and it did not come into clear conflict with the font style or one of the letters would be something like "B. Vikianov ."

However, I have decided that the artist is weak, somewhere in the bottom of the ratings, and maybe even beyond. So much hope for things not entertain ...
