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.

But I have this artist's offhand so I can not remember, search is necessary.

Silent Sapa, thanks ! The fourth time you see this version , so it is.
Where can I look ? I have now the possibility of just the Internet, there is a name on the solid Facebook /vKruguDruzey /VKontakte .
Was this artist in the late 19 th early 20 th century ?
Women , is seriously engaged in painting /drawing , while not so much it was , and the execution of the landscape allows us to say that this is not just entertainment ladies . I was told that the level of no worse than everyone's favorite Shishkin , not only surname Shishkin >
And a gift has already been held on the artist as a token of gratitude , it means that something worth while .

The problem is that they were actually very much : pupil Drawing School Society for the Promotion of artists TSUTR Baron Stieglitz ( endless prikladnitsy on porcelain , miniature , and so on . ) , a graduate of drawing courses , private drawing studio , etc , I'm not saying about MUZhViZ and Stroganov . Just data on graduates of the School of Drawing is very scarce and not systematic . You can sit in the library , look in the archives . On the Internet this information is still very small . Here or to hire someone who knows how to look . Or by the master search technique ... Well , or just lucky to stumble on a random reference .

Yesterday I tried to do the search, starting from Blakhernae.

This is the former name of the estate Stroganoff-Golitsyn Blakhernae-Kuzminki.

Copied here - a lot, but in my opinion, it is interesting >

Kuzminki were popular at all times of their existence. But most of the manor "Kuzminki received in the 19 century at the time of his affiliation son of Prince Mikhail Golitsyn, Sergei Mikhailovich, who had raised the estate at the peak of fame and has nominated her on a par with such architectural gems and park construction, the St. Petersburg Pavlovsk, Peterhof, Versailles and Paris. No wonder the estate called Moscow Pavlovsky and compared with the Italian sample estates of the last century. According to contemporaries, the village Blakhernae by the abundance of small architectural forms of iron production are open-air museum.

In creating the estate attended by many famous painters, sculptors and architects Ages 18-19: IV Stallion, A. Voronikhin, P. Kazakov, Artari, I. Egotov, Rossi, Campione, AG Grigoryev, MD Bykowski, Klodt, dynasty Gilardi, etc.

In Kuzminki visited famous figures of literature and art .... Kuzminki in his works sung artist Jean H. Rauch, Grabar, Valentin Serov. On the sad charm of dying "Nest of the Gentry told by Anton Chekhov in his story" In Kuzminki "... ..
Rented cottage Dostoevsky in the neighboring manor Lublin, where he worked on his novel "Crime and Punishment." At different times in country houses in Kuzminki lived: architect IM Bondarenko - one of the leading masters of the neo-Russian style, art Grabar ... Since May 12, 1882 in an apartment physician Kuzminskaya st hospital at Slobodka artist lived VG Perov, died on May 29. In Kuzminki to Perov visited his pupil MV Nesterov. June 21, 1890 one of Kuzminskii Summer Resident, some AO Osipov, in Kuzminki visited Fr John of Kronstadt (Sergeyev), rector of St. Andrew's Cathedral in Kronstadt, a preacher and spiritual writer (now canonized). In the summer of 1894 in Kuzminki visited Lenin, who lived nearby at the cottage in the manor Veshki (Tolokonnikova). The last of the Romanov dynasty, visited the Kuzminki May 19, 1901, was the Moscow Governor-General of the Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich and his wife Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna. In 1915, the son inherited Kuzminki S. Golitsyn (from his first marriage) - Prince Sergei Golitsyn (1871-1918), the new owner Kuzminok had a status of "insolvent debtor" and therefore was removed from the management and disposition of the estate, is leased in the last (fourth) wife, S. Golitsyn  Princess Anna Alexandrovna, nee Princess Kugushevoy (1869-1950), then lived abroad. After the fire on Feb. 19, 1916, which destroyed the manor house along with the western wing on the front yard, was established by the "administration of the estate to reserved Kuzminki.

(The manor house burned down in Kuzminki February 19, 1916. The fire lasted almost all day, apart from destroying the Prince's Palace, were kept there on the mezzanine precious antique mahogany furniture, old paintings, a collection of several hundreds of valuable engravings. The press has speculated that the fire arose from the failure of furnace flues, or from the negligence of the officers posted there the hospital.)

If this landscape 1886 . again, and suggest that in the right corner , the artist's signature , the artist a " Adam ..... . "
Deed of gift inscription simply label some women , when suddenly she is also an artist , the search is not worth the time - you never know it was unknown artists , the value of a cardboard figure this does not appear .
But who is this Adam ? This gives a chance . You can try to read the caption played with an ultraviolet lamp detection rates and a photo with a good camera .

It clearly reads ECAT ....( more illegible ).... and no , " Adam " !
With respect to the names - the first letter is illegible. Next ....shetova , or more likely . .. shetkova.
 Unfortunately search by first name and patronymic gave a disappointing result - more or less known artists with that name and patronymic not .
