jmurcka, dear, you really make a good photograph of your signature work.
And then like a hedgehog in the fog.:)
IHMO good job, I love those stories. The quality IHMO above average, even in comparison with European professionals late 19th, early 20th centuries. According to the author and price but some.
In Europe, the work of a similar size and quality of hands-known masters such as Robert Eberle, Friedrich Wilhelm Folttsa or Freya do not sell below the 2000 - 3000 euros.
Here the master is probably not very well known, but Russian.: D

Thanks for the information! Unfortunately signature does not get clearer. She and the picture is clearly visible in half ((
The very picture in excellent condition and, indeed, the quality of writing is very good, happy eyes.

Learn to take pictures:)
The digital camera has a macro mode, usually for the insistence of up to 40 - 80 cm
So in this mode and should be photographed.
