Help please understand with a picture!
 

Nothing is known about the picture of the <! - ~ 2 ~ ->

I would like to hear about it any opinions, perspectives.

Advise where to start and what to do with the definition of authorship, please!

Thank you in advance)

Well, for a start, would thoroughly review the database of artists, to whom could be classified letter W. The picture is, quite frankly , not a genius , so by the author to identify the author's style seems unlikely. Stretcher carefully review , which may have metochka . All the best !

And maybe it's not a letter.
There is still such is seen below.
Grass or reeds.
Then the circle widens search.
<! - ~ 1 ~ ->

With those initials anyone suitable not, if it's initials and not grass)

Kamenev, Kryzhitsky, unlike <! - ~ 9 ~ ->?

JullyB, suggest that dance on the stove, ie
of provenance <! - ~ 1 ~ -> Picture, hour, not brought from Germany after the war?

Yeah, the picture is dreary, boring,'s unlikely you will find.

In principle, this seems to be the very end of the 19th century or the beginning of the 20th, in style, so to speak, academics, naturalists.

There is no place to dance , painting lay a lot of years with my grandfather , and he gave it to fellow Suvorov schools in this already untidy form <! - ~ 1 ~ ->
Grandfather of mine, by the way , the artist ) In his view , the picture is not written anyhow and wants to find out about the author.

A bleak picture really describes it as a work of art? <! - ~ 1 ~ ->
In general, it looks wonderful , photo is not transferred (

Looks like it.
More on Orlovsky seems only Orlovsky thinner written.
Probably copy, or from work or Kryzhitsky Orlovsky.

What does the Orlovsky, I did not understand.
And Kryzhitsky too.
But perhaps with a copy of any such hudozhnichka , which only comrade . The layman knows .
For me personally, they do not fit in the Moscow .
Kind of looked like remembered , and in an hour and you do not remember ...
Here is a copy of the type of one of them , whom no normal ( or abnormal ) moscow not remember (except Mosca comrade . Dilettante ) .

Comrade . Amateur, you have an opinion ? )))
