The name can either be the artist or the subject. I happen to think it is the latter. Any help with the spelling would be great. Any feedback would be fantastic. Thanks for looking.

I have obtained the following item and was hoping to get some feedback. It is a postcard. On the front is a standard postcard layout with Russian text. On the back is a hand drawn sketch of what I believe to be an Austro-Hungarian prisoner. Under the portrait is a name that I can't quite read, the word Beresovka, which was a prison camp in Siberia, and the date November 12th 1916.
The name can either be the artist or the subject. I happen to think it is the latter. Any help with the spelling would be great. Any feedback would be fantastic. Thanks for looking.

Trouble with the A-H army is that the name could be German, Hungarian, Czech, Polish, Croatian, Italian ... whatever!
I'd plump tentatively for something like K.Konyakovski or similar.

Thanks Adrian for you feedback. I was leaning towards Hungarian decent due to the look of his name, I did an internet search for Hungarian surnames and thought that was it but I can be wrong.
