"Pines on the Shore", help to identify the author
 

Please help me to identify the author of the picture.

Signature is hardly visible, could not make out (in the lower left corner, a brown color).

Perhaps it's the end of the 19th century., No accurate data.
For a long time stored in the Ukraine.
According to legend, had something to do with Nicholas II.

With a frame size of 100 * 50 cm

Prostenochnaya picture ( usually paired) of the cheap furniture store as an option . Non-profit . Website search is not necessary , daub artisanal stuffer . Interesting provenance of this connection with Nicholas II. <! - ~ 7 ~ ->

And how do you explain the mysterious connection with Nicholas II, as well?

I wrote to you all.
Picture of the artist wrote unprofessional - porter.
Signature does not matter.
Wait for more opinions if necessary.

Why is idiocy ? Of course such a lot of places in Russia , but although the picture and Ukraine , but it certainly is not Ukraine . The picture presumably late 19th , early 20th century, so while the painters to Baikal is not particularly driven.

The painting was done by a professional artist , but look for among the famous I think it makes no sense . And the rest is addressed to the owner.

That is:

You can still remember, for example, the Finnish landscapes Shishkin:

Why should I "tell"? You better tell me where else in the Russian Empire artists painted pine trees by the sea with boulders ?

If you read the old theme of the forum , you know that the issue of artisanal piers discussed here a long time ago and all the participants with experience in the subject of this issue , everyone all about it has long been known .

And another thing: why do you think that I'm in something just urge you , Boris Con?
You do me a damn - you are not interesting for me , a little unsure , say something sensible on the forum you can not - so sparse smehuechki - podkolochki not of a great mind .
One you have a topic - drawing pictures in the frame. Oh, it is felt that it is close to you - I suspect that you are working in picture framing studio .
