As far as I know, Konstantin Veschilov was married to the mother's sister's wife Fedota Sychkova.
So.
Veschilov family lived in America. A Sychkov sent him their work signed in pencil on the dried paint.
Then they Veschilov signed on behalf of Sychkova (name Sychkova) and offered for sale.
After the sale, the money went to family Sychkova. Rather than money and miscellaneous goods, food and other things.
Thus, a sister, a husband, an artist, helped her sister and her family.
