Illegible signature
 

Here is a picture from the auction on September 28.
As for the date of 1949 - much doubt: in my opinion, in 1919.


Who could it be, colleagues?

Signature all and can not even make out the auction Dr. Fischer May 12, 2012 . A date is 1942 .
The work was at the auction Modern, Contemporary Art, although a month passed before auction of Russian art. It may be a picture of Russian origin at all ? We must look for the signature close-up.

And I think the last figure in May 1915

I'm pretty sure that the signature is Russian . Although the first letter of embarrassing. As for the date in doubt until the last digit - either 1919 , or 1912 . But, in general , you are certainly right . While some cultural auction fails to deliver the signature large, everything will remain at the level of conjecture. However, it is possible that some of the experts recognize the picture or signature. I very much hope to help Eugene: he is engaged in the Central Asian art.

Actually, quite a strange signature is clearly readable and auctions can not read it . Does anyone under the hands of the Russian-speaking was not there ? <! - ~ 1 ~ ->

Zankovsky?

This Alupka Vorontsov Palace in the background is visible peak of Ai-Petri.

After playing with the photo date is seen in 1912, and the signature - Don?

Most likely the 49th , if we talk about the signature . I'll explain why.
Through the efforts of Count Potemkin Alupka Palace in the park were planted a lot of " foreign" trees , including cypress trees, and in front of the main entrance , which is visible in the picture , they were planted in 1913 . Here too they are high for such a short time. All this was done at the place of usual forest. ( old photo below ).
Maybe I 'm wrong.

Artem, you are shown a photo from the other side of the palace.

No, it's this kind.
In addition, the only point where you can make this image, on break and the sea.
