Help to read the signature
 

Hello Dear forum.
Please help us, who can be able to read the signature on the painting.

Some explanations can offer Valentine Zenchenko

That's just not clear how Zenchenko name can be written with yatem - W ѣ nchenko ?

Added after 1 hours 17 minutes
P.S. I looked different lists of pre-revolutionary names. It turns out that the originals were Zenchenko , writing their names in yat . Ex. in the list of officers for 1910 RIA - 6 Zenchenko Zѣnchenko 1 , in Address RI -calendar for 1913 (officials) - the ratio of 8 to 3 :)>.

 Vѣday ... , brat that klѣt and klѣtka ,
Rѣsheto , rѣshetka , sѣtka ,
Vѣzha and zhelѣzo ting yat, -
Tak and it is necessary to write.
Our vѣki and rѣsnitsy
Zaschischayut glaz zѣnitsy ,
Vѣki zhmurit tsѣly vѣk
Night each chelovѣk ...
Vѣter vѣtki polomal ,
Nѣmets vѣniki svyazal ,
Svѣsil vѣrno at promѣnѣ ,
For dvѣ hryvnia prodal Vѣnѣ Bb .
Dnѣpr and Dnѣstr , kak vsѣm izvѣstno ,
Dvѣ a river Bb sosѣdstvѣ tѣsnom ,
Dѣlit of ih Bug ,
Rѣzhet ting sѣvera on yug .
Who tam gnѣvno svirѣpѣet ?
Krѣpko sѣtovat smѣet tak ?
We must peacefully spor rѣshit
And another drug ubѣdit ...
Bird gnѣzda grѣh zorit ,
Grѣh vain hlѣb litter,
Nad kalѣkoy grѣh smѣyatsya ,
Nad uvѣchnym izdѣvatsya ...

And on the cards - after ive ...

Excuse me, madam dilettante, but:


Zenchenko - Zenko /Zenya - Zenobia /Zino.

Gladly, willingly.
But first of all : who said that the " Zenko " instead of " zenok "? (" Zenko " - the common people . - " Eyes." In Dahl , par ex.: " You're my zenok , apple of the eye , darling . Zenko - the eyes , the eyes ").
Secondly , Valentine Minovich apparently belonged to one of the " originals", who wrote his name " Zenchenko " through " yat" . (On playing cards " Fisherman" is exactly what is indicated ).
A " whole of Moscow " and " All Petersburg " I also looked. Good - not far to seek ...

Vlad, I'm not a linguist, of course, but I think that Zenobia - Zenova not Slavic name and Sönke to do. It is rather something Arabic (could be wrong ). Queen of Palmyra - Zenobia - Zeynab
Perhaps in Google you can find the details .

By Unbegaun in Ukrainian surnames Zenko on the Zeno (see last name Zenkovich, Zenko .

Good Lord , what are we ? Quiet Sapa ( God forbid her good health and happy retirement ) the signature read. Since the task admirably . :p> What else would that?
Well , do not read VM OblONO directives on rules of writing his own name . Wrote on ignorance ( Razi- Well Drawing School at OPH , amplitude 'em, give education ?) As father and grandfather used from time immemorial .
And most importantly - is not correct .
Soothes just that, after 1918 , did stroptivtsa forced to obey the general rules ! Works from the Museum of Chernigov - all as one - through "E". I mean - W - E - nchenko ...
