Thank you in advance for all of the views expressed <! - ~ 1 ~ ->

Now it's even portraits Ryabushkina - Tyumenev with his wife.

Ryabushkin , of course , an artist of genius .
And probably would have been one of the leaders of Russian auctions, if there were his paintings on themes of Russian antiquities.
Whether this Ryabushkin may be of interest to collectors - is unclear.
But of course, that if you want to sell it necessary to put on a major auction .

Private comment . Written cool, but never would have guessed if I had not been warned that it Ryabushkin .

Landscapes Ryabushkina cost between 20,000 - $ 30,000, though not sold with a bang, if you want to "sell" rather than "sell" then 15,000 - $ 20,000.
With portraits of the situation is worse - portraits of unknown people is very difficult, with notable easier.
In this case it is necessary to consider whether the wife of the artist famous person - I do not know ...

Gorgeous portraits ! Harákternye . Just noticed - the man hands somehow flawed .

Constantine , thank you for the numbers. But can I have the lack of information, but Ryabushkin was a landscape painter .
The great modernist, chronicler of Russia ...
A portrait I call :
- Respect
- Love
- Patience (according to family legend ie spouse Tyumeneva prevented his daughter's marriage with Ryabushkin ) .
And all this is being read in the painting. That is , in my opinion , the great power of art .

I do know that name of the topic ( I apologize if I offended anyone by this recognition .)
All I have done is look through our database " Statistics auction sales " if it sold the picture - but it is sold and landscapes. Hence my post .
