Sell ​​slowly, in all matters PS .

Sunny, offer this work in the procurement Commission for museums.
ROSIZO for example.
For the house hardly anyone to buy. The plot.....

Thank you! You are right. The work will probably be of interest to museums. Saw a couple of similar size and color sketches of the same series ("the Miners. Change") in the National Museum of Belarus. Yes, in K. A. Sitnik in the book "Kasatkin" GW several similar displays. Apparently, now in the collections of the state Tretyakov gallery. But I never museums have not experienced, I think there is a lot of bureaucracy...
Yes and sell much no hurry, considering the current situation. Rather, "can sell" than "want to sell". Put up for those who might be seriously interested in the work of the first folk artist.
In any case - thanks for the tip!

By the way, works from the collections of the Museum of Belarus.
