<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 448097, member: 33&quot;]The letters И.А.Х.&nbsp; appear to stand for Императорская Академия худо́жеств, the Imperial Academy of Arts. I found on a Russian-language page that he was president of that organization. It is now called the Russian Academy of Arts. Here&#039;s a Russian-language page about him on their website.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.rah.ru/the_academy_today/the_members_of_the_academie/member.php?ID=17575" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.rah.ru/the_academy_today/the_members_of_the_academie/member.php?ID=17575" rel="nofollow">https://www.rah.ru/the_academy_today/the_members_of_the_academie/member.php?ID=17575</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: That page can be translated in Google Translate. They do have an English-language version of their site but I didn&#039;t find that page. Here is a page listing all of their presidents. He was from 1817-1843. <a href="https://eng.rah.ru/academy/history/all_presidents_since_1757.php?sphrase_id=53516" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://eng.rah.ru/academy/history/all_presidents_since_1757.php?sphrase_id=53516" rel="nofollow">https://eng.rah.ru/academy/history/all_presidents_since_1757.php?sphrase_id=53516</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
