I'm not really sure about your question? Do you need someone to read the name, or are you looking for more biographical information? I'm hoping that a music historian could give a more detailed answer if the latter is the case.

The name under the picture reads Carl Markees, and may also have been spelled Karl Markees. A quick Google search yields some library records and book results that state a Carl Markees lived from 1865-1926, was a violinist and taught students at Berlin's University of Music.
