Illegible signature.

[Vlada]

Good afternoon, I will be grateful if someone will make out a signature, or have any information.

Once upon a showing specialists (maybe someone remembers) - feedback and assessment are very good,
but the signature is illegible, therefore remains anonymous. Decided to get a job and try again.

Landscape in 1886 - correctly, finely made work (clearly seen an increase) in the technique of grisaille,
Sepia (Oreshkova ink) on the art cardboard (26,7 x19, 3).

Catherine Alexander (ram) ... .. - Then it is not clear - .... shetkova ... .. ova (?)

I tried to push off from an inscription on the back: a gift in 1926, Nikolai Stepanovich Troshin in appreciation for their help in difficult moments. "
20-e - the hunger, cold, collapse, the latest departures - and not very close, people kept their assistance and reciprocity.

Read-quick scheme, but with interest, a book about this artist - Nikolai Troshin (Eugene Piskun, electronic version http://www.gramotey.com/?open_file=1269091724)

- Complex life of a length of almost 100 years (1897 - 1990gg.), In Moscow final since 1922 - in the thick of things and names ...., But the episodes with references to Catherine Alexandrovna or initials EA in this period there has not found.
