I need any information about Jewish oil painting artist S. Gromott, his paintings hang in Buckingham Palace En

All I know is his paintings have hung in Buckingham Palace in London England. He has one of Nature with green trees around water in the foreground with lily pads on the water and a house or cabin towards the back right side of picture. Anyone know how to find information on the man is very much appreciated, please. The 100 year celebration of him was in England in the year of 1935.

Hi Patricia... I've been trying to track this since your first inquiry... so I have a few questions. Are you working off a signature or have you seen his name in print? How did you find his celebration information.... his religion? I have checked the complete inventory of Buckingham Palace** by G. de Bellaigue, who was Surveyor of the Queen's Works of Arts.. and there is no listing. If you're working off a signature.. they can be misleading. I just checked in E. Benezit* a resource collection that has a much finer mesh than the internet and found a V. Gromoff (trans. from French: Born St. Petersburg, 1800.. primarily painted portraits ...) Could it possibly be he? There was also a fire at Momart's facilities where works from the Palace were lost as well as the fire in 1992. Let me know... I'll keep checking:)
