Boris Cohn , You're wrong - a remake , but you have a point and - forest < ! - ~ 1 ~ ->.

Good day to all! I want to make it clear that the work is really old , as in the war years was removed from Kaliningrad. The product of the original , it is in the museum collection . But I do not have the right to say which one. The fact is that for many years failed to establish authorship . On that decided to write to you with the hope that will help . I would be grateful for any information !

Dear experts ( to let you go so ) ! Please help us to identify the author of this piece ! We only know that the watercolor paper was imported from Germany. Perhaps it was written by a French or German master the mid 19th century. At the bottom there is a stamp of the Royal Prussian Academy of the Arts (as I understand) and the inscription in red pencil . But the authorship Demuretta doubt .
Stamp : "KGL. Kunst-Akademie
            Borgerloh'sche Stiftung
            In Königsberg PR. "

Thank you in advance for your help !

Years of the Academy (Kunstakademie Königsberg): 1845 - 1945 .
Work , I think, came to the meeting of the Academy during this period. But, judging by military clothes , she says , or at the end of the 19th or early 20th century.
Here she found the costume of the French army military :
" French foot ranger in battle dress and with full gear (from the album of lithographs Armée française et armée russe, published in Paris in 1888 ) ."

In my opinion, the 1930 - 40s., Author, perhaps, the American

[Anna1982]

Tell me, please, what the initials mean then?
The first letter reminds me of the Russian letter "G".
Do you have any ideas on-the authorship of this work?

When looking for work, there I thought that a soldier since the 1st World War and the Franco-Algerian war.

Views on authorship is not. Only assume that this is some kind of coffee dates , and there is, of course , was a great set . Professional, of course ( that whatever is said about the legs )), but not an outstanding artist .

The first letter reminds me of the Russian letter "G "

I think the artist zpapadny (America ? ), Respectively, it is not the letter "G"

[Anna1982]

I think that is really an artist from the west. America - is unlikely ( though, who knows? ) Because their work Kenigbergskogo meeting. The name "KGL. Kunst-Akademie Borgerloh'sche Stiftung In Königsberg PR.", As understood from the translation says that maybe there was a fund for the promotion of artists. Or maybe I'm wrong ?

 IV thanks for your observations ! This thing , according to the source documents , written by a French artist. But , you know , that might be mistaken. Why doubt the authorship Demuretta ? Because he's got other initials and signature of another . What is this letter then, well , first , if it was a western artist?

Anna1982, so do not get hung up (sorry) on the signature ( this is often a secondary matter .) By the way , this " G" and perhaps not the letter . If the artist's name started with a "G ", he certainly did not fail to her so much with the second letter.

This one , according to the primary documents , written by a French artist .

It may very well be that a Frenchman, but for now it is better to try to finalize the fact that a "western" .
