Maybe it's Konstantin Sokolov (1887 - 1963)?

Student still life.

Yes?
Student?
Written in a school or written by a person begins his studies of painting?

[redbor]

Well , it seems that part of the compulsory program of art school : still lifes , landscapes and more.
In my country house in the attic is like .
daughter painted vase , put the kettle and all draw from different angles. Studied at the Stroganov .
 And here, perhaps not a test , and the work of a mature master. You yourself think?

I think: this is the work of a mature master.

Moreover, it is a very nice still life and I very much doubt that somewhere in the Soviet Union in any school in the 40's.
so could write.

The question is not in a painting of a still life , that's all clear, and its price , and in the establishment of the author. Who is it - C.Socoloff? Why signature Latin ? Must be either mad or brave despair , to sign the 41- year work in the USSR their Latin .

 Well, if a high quality of painting , and the author can think of.
Perhaps he wrote in 1941, somewhere in the occupied territory to order, for example Gauleiter .
That subscribed to Western style.
And the real name not Sokoloff and Sokolov .

This is 100%emigrant painting - probably just from France. By the way , is it not at all , "he" and "she" - if this person was in the second or more generation. Well, since there is no provenance and statistics - is to assess the artistic merit. I would give max. TR 10-15 (as always, IMHO).

[Alexander74]

Thanks to all the work there is no provenance.
Work in France, all you masterful predicted.
Take an unknown artist, not something you want, work very professionally done is a fact.
Sell ​​high, let her stay in France.

Thanks again for the comments.
