"Pine Forest", oil on canvas
 

Nice picture of the end of 19 century. "Pine Forest", oil on canvas.
32 x 43.
Signed right I. Polyakov or Tolkachev.
Maybe someone had met such an artist.

The manual mentions Kondakova Tolkachev Vasily. Was born in 1839. Student MUZHV and Professor AK Savrasov. 1863 received from the Arts second silver medal. In 1864 awarded the title of the artist with the right to the rank of Class XIV. Landscape.
Maybe this will help?

Allena, thank you. Take a picture from another angle and it came out, like, read: Tolkachev. Now another question. Preserved if it works. And that he is drawing.

I drew most likely, landscapes, once Kondakov calls it landscapist. But I survived - question. And where he lived - the same question. Apparently, Moscow or Peter?
