In 2011 , March 31st , two painting of the artist Alexander Volkov-Muromtsev , who painted under the pseudonym " A.N. Russova " , returned to Alexander Palace .
He painted predominently in watercolours that included genre scenes , interiors of cathedrals , landscapes and views of oriental towns and cities , such as Cairo , Luxor , Constantinople , as well as those of Italy .
These 2 watercolors , originally hung in the Alexander Palace , had disappeared during the Second World War :
- a view called " In a catholic church " , hung in the large cabinet of Emperor Nicholas II .

the other is a view of an italian town originally hung in the Mauve Room of the Empress Alexandra Feodorovna .Here Olga Taratynova , Director of the Tsarskoye Selo Palace Museum-Preserve accepts painting that once hung in the Alexander Palace :
