Russian Oil Landscape Signed SHCHETININ

The name in Russian is Анатолий Прокопьевич Щетинин, if not wrong in English should be Anatoly Prokopevich Shchetinin.
Most of the info I am finding is on the Russian websites so I guess he is not internationally known. No auction results either.

 

You may have found this already... but one of the Russian sites, translated through Google, gives this information:

Information about Barnaul, Russia, where he was born:

Looks like he is from south central Russia, from a city of half a million people out in the middle of nowhere (I may be incorrect about the "nowhere" assumption.). He is an active artist, 60 years old now.

 

I like it.

 

Thanks.
Yeah, I pretty much found everything on him from the Russian websites. Who knows, one day he may be better recognized.
