Watercolor from 1872, who is the author?

 

Where in the world did you find it?

Debora

 

1873, only one year difference.

 

I bought it from a woman for $7 who sells paintings and antiques.

 

Where?

Debora

 

In Russia.We have quite a few works brought from Europe by tourists and antiques dealers.In any case, they used to carry a lot, when the ruble exchange rate was better and there were no sanctions)).

 

Maybe open the passe-partout and see if there are any inscriptions on the back of the drawing?
The passe-partout is of no value; it seems to be relatively new.

 

So a late Victorian sepia landscape by a Western European artist. Three initials isn't much to go by but... You can search here if you have the time.

And agree with above. The mat has been added to make it more attractive for resale.

Debora

 

What letter does the last name begin with in these initials?

 

It's nicely done. I really like it.
