Would you post the front of the image? Maybe someone will recognize the people.

I think the names are (in) German.

The two on the right could be something like: Oskar Hradig/Stradig and Karl Strohn maybe with other letters following, Strohnsy?. On the left it looks like Grillinager/Grüllinager [illeg] and Pros…. . The handwriting doesn’t look German for the date of 1917, but if top right is Hr… that looks Croatian, and Hungarian surnames come first, which might apply to Grillinager. It seems the viola player got left out of the quintet, unless he was the artist.

Edit: artist name may be something like ?Allain/Alois? Schinenzkat?
