Signed bottom right hand side Overall measurements including the frame are 89 cm x 64 cm x 6. 5 cm and the painting measures 76 cm x 51 cm Alexei Nikolsky was born and raised in his early years in Russia from where his family fled from Russia on the Communist takeover in 1918. Their choice of exile was Poland, from where they were forced to flee again when Germany invaded in 1939. Alexei Nikolsky came to England via France as part of the Kindertransport, and he was put to work in agriculture. This is how Nikolsky found himself living in Northney, an agrarian area of Hayling Island, where he stayed until his death in 1975. A musician as well as an artist, Nikolsky chose painting because he found it easier to earn money that way. As his reputation grew, local traders and businesses grew used to bartering their services with Nikolsky, and as he was prolific in his output, several collections were built up this way. After the death of his wife, he seemed inconsolable and lost the ability to paint. What he did do during his painting career was to paint very highly -skilled beautiful life still life studies of flowers and this is a beautiful example of the artists work. Condition report.
