This painting was sold on eBay in French in 2013 (spring-summer).
Excitement was not the sale price was small, about 100 euros or a little more.

Yes, and everything else is good .
Probably auction on eBay was was a little earlier, in the winter of 2013, since the summer read diaries Punina NN , in which he mentioned several times Okolovich ( Comrade Punina work together in the Russian Museum ) . And after reading the statements N. Punina " .. Okolovich completely untalented artist , and yet life is a most unusual man," regretted that he did not participate in the auction.

[Андрей Жданов]

B., and thank you once again for the interesting information .

In fact, strangely enough, picturesque heritage Nicholas A. hardly represented on the Internet . But he was in TYURH and participated in exhibitions of the Wanderers (" Outskirts » (XXII exhibition in 1894 ) and "Spring » (XXIII exhibition in 1895 ) ) , and restoration workshops in charge of the Russian Museum .

N. A. Okolovich - Ivan Shishkin

[ Odessa . February 1893 ]

Dear Ivan ,

This past summer I tried as best you can do for your advice - to work in the summer " prilezhnenko " that you admonished me before leaving my from St. Petersburg. Whole summer I wrote and drew plants and shrubs , putting the rest for the future.

The other half of your advice , be healthy, could not perform . But so could go to St. Petersburg and get you a good dressing down for their studies . Now, the circumstances were for me so that I can not think about the Academy , and then to work for himself. And it is terribly difficult . Ask here , and what to do , not for anyone, unless you want to get the conflicting advice .

When working with nature was cold , I sat for the painting . Wrote and decided to send the best show on the Wanderers. This fact is the reason for me writing this . As a result of the summer painting works, then, of course , and I decided to take the courage to turn to you to - tell me if I made a success in comparison with previous years. You ever before participated in and helped me with his advice , and when one of these my circumstances Your very word would encourage me and I began to work with povoy energy. Especially if the result of sending paintings to the exhibition will be unfavorable for me , I then hands shall be feeble , if I do not know what to do . And everything you say no , I will obey .

The picture is called " Apiary " and I sent her on January 23. She probably already arrived in St. Petersburg .

You remain respecting Nicholas Okolovich .
