We observed the field of GRB 190219A (Beardmore et al., GCN 23902) with 
AZT-8 of CrAO,  AS-32 (0.7m) telescope of Abastumani Observatory and 
ORI-22 telescope of ISON-Castelgrande Observatory, first observation 
starting on Feb. 19 (UT) 19:48:14.  We do not detect any object within 
enhanced XRT error circle (Beardmore et al., GCN 23907). In particular 
we do not detect the afterglow candidate (Xu et al., GCN 23911). 
Preliminary photometry of the field is following.
