An old picture
 

The painting was bought in the early 30-ies on the sale of a private collection in the city of Kursk.
Help with the author, and evaluation.

If no signature, it will be extremely difficult to identify the author.


Without the signature of its price will be 300-400 dollars, in my opinion.

$ 300-400 for oleograph?. Everything that is of value - an old stretcher and holstik.Dollarov 50 "craftsmen" buy.

What about oleograph I did not say ...
Why oleograph something?


The Other Side - strong mid-19th century ...


This is hardly oleograph, and with whom?
What's the point?

And what is the huge number ve kitayschiny, which filled up all the supermarkets and bazaars. Printing on an inkjet printer, with a drawing of and without, with pegs on a stretcher and rolls, and pieces on ves.Syuzhety - on any signatures and vkus.S bez.Pokupayut and hung on the wall, as bought in the 19th and 20th centuries oleographs. Now you think these trifles, decorated furnished rooms and home undemanding middle class antiques. Maybe in a unspecified number of years, when the technology of mass production come off from the traditional canvas paper and ink, the current picture with the inscription "Made in China" and without just come into this category. Though today, under the attribution, unlucky owners of such products with the incorruptible immediacy are asking about the author of the signature, a century, tells the story of the cloned grandmother and grandfather's attic trofeyah.I very surprised to learn in response to that signature - Jabberwocky, a "masterpiece" - a cheap, mass production of the picture.

If you look look closely, this white trail from scratch - perhaps even likely oleograph ...
That is a reproduction ...
Photos must say, is not clear ...

Fine.

"Definitely"!

Make a more qualitative picture does not make sense?
I understand correctly?

It never hurts.
Ideally would like to make it from scratch.

Allow at least one piece of close-up.

Try to take a picture of a pair of fragments at the edges of images, from a distance of 10 cm

Picture the same - probably Germany, mid 19th century, perhaps, a copy of a magazine illustration.


Or reproduction of copies.

From the beginning, there was no such possibility.
Be sure to lay out tomorrow macro.
Thank you for your "clear" answers.
The artist is not Russian - IMHO.
Maybe where you see the signature)

please do.

At your review, as promised ...

There is information that it do a copy.
