Souvenir – Oil picture signed by K. Shevchenko – does anyone have more information about this painter?
Attached I am sending you a scan of the painting by W. Makowski and, in addition, a scan of a small oil painting signed by K. Shevchenko – the history of his purchase is similar to that of Makowski. Perhaps someone has more information about this painter?
I cordially greet you, wishing you prosperity and health in the New Year.
