Perhaps it Martynov, Anatoly Vladimirovich. Genus. February 2, 1872 - the mind. November 1, 1962 in Simferopol. Hudozhnik.Oformil lot of pre-revolutionary postcards. He published his watercolors and drawings in the magazine "The Sun of Russia" 1913 -1916 gg. Member of the First World War. After the revolution, lived in the Ukraine. Member of the SC Department of Kharkov in Ukraine since 1938. Member republican exhibitions. In 1945 he moved to the Crimea. Martynov. No information about the artist, unfortunately, very little. It is known that he was in 1944, along with Tsvetkova, S. Spring, M. Merkulyev the first of the Crimean artists accepted in the USSR Union of Artists.

I looked through several Martynovs. Neither came. Neither the style and character art, or for the signature. So purely logically I can assume that this Martynov Basil L. (1888 - 1971).
The artist, set designer. Born in Nizhny Novgorod. Member of Gorky branch of the Union of artists of RSFSR from 1949 Exhibitor regional and national exhibitions since 1911, participated in exhibitions Akhra. He worked in the genres of industrial and lyrical landscape, portrait, of theatrical and decorative painting.
That is the notion of "theatrical-decorative art" and is suitable for your picture. Although this is purely my speculative opinion not unfounded, because not find a more suitable Martynovs

It may already no longer need?
And what could be a huge difference in the image - just two different styles,
And so it was determined from photographs, indentifitsiruy author ...
