The inscription on the painting, really Nijinska! Why L?

In this case, "La" indicates a mere accessory to Nijinska beautiful half of humanity, and nothing more :)

I wonder why the "M" Grigoryev? He is not really something called Sergei. Generally speaking, these two discrepancies suggest that the inscription is made by man are not very knowledgeable, and possibly the creator of the work has no relation, although in principle it is not so important.

La do something before the proper name is used it?

Not really (ie in this case should not be), but it seems to me that here was just another mistake. The text is written in English, and la - it's not English :) My version: he wrote the Englishman, who knew no French (but you had to identify the floor), and the Russian ballet dancers.

To be precise, the author - English painter Sir Robin Darwin (Sir Robin Darwin British, 7 May 1910 - 30 January 1974), grandson of naturalist Charles Darwin, rector of the Royal College of Art.
