The precedent orthograph was wrong, so you should write Zinaida Serebriakova as the artist used to signed herself on her works. On her french passport she was Zinaïde Sérébriakoff, born Lanceray.
I have made also some changes on the biography. I am the little niece of the artist (my great grand mother was the sister of Evgeni Aleksandrovitch Lanceray), so I quite well know her life, and where are the paintings. But any new informations are welcome. thank you.

"Serebryakova" is one of the spellings used in English, just as "Serebriakova" is. Misplaced Pages uses the former instead of the latter because it complies with more generic WP:RUS guidelines.

I'm not the author, but I think that Catherine's edits were OK. The difference between "Serebryakova" and "Serebriakova" is not material, although I would always prefer the former.

I looked at the paintings on Commons, but couldn't read her sig on any, although there appears to be a sig in the lower left corner of "Lit by the Sun. 1928". The sig on this nude, which is not on Commons, appears to have an "i" in it. Is there any way her French passport sig could be made verifiable? Even better would be scan of a handwritten letter showing her sig — that would make a wonderful addition to the article. --Jtir17:29, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
The article on Yuri Annenkov notes that he is sometimes credited as Georges Annenkov (e.g. for his work on films). Sometimes he signed his work G. Annenkoff (The article does not say this though). I recall seeing a hand-written sig spelled this way, but the best I could find is this:
