Help decide on the acquisition of paintings
 

Good time of day!

My brother wants to get a picture in Prague.
Help, Please, take a decision on the acquisition of the Prague auction. Size 30 * 27. Work exhibited for 550 kroner (about 880 USD). I wonder whether this work?
Many thanks in advance.

From the artistic point of view, the picture is of no value, but if your brother's nostalgic memories of the Latvian countryside Skaistkalnes, then $ 30 - not money.

VYACHESLAV, but I still think that the inscriptions on the back "Above the Pskov" believe you can.
It seems that the artist has depicted so Pskov church of St. George from causeway.

Then the upper part of the inscription Skaystkalns Piterns refers to the artist?
The picture shows the church and several kolokolnya.Podobnyh many churches in the villages along the river Pskvy (Pskov) and pritokov.Vot for example
1.Pskovsky area. Village Elizarovo. Savior Elizarovskaya Monastery
2.Pkovskaya region. Village Vele
Perhaps Pskov church of St. George with causeway if it is next to the bell tower (on the photo is not visible).
In any case, the painting was valuable to the artist and those to whom he gave it as a reminder to co-host of time in these places.
Alas, artistic or investment :) value, it is not added.
Thank you Helen, thanks to your post "walked" in Pskov and its environs, and even "visited" in the Latvian countryside Skaistkalnes.

Result
 

Hello again and thank you for your answers!
I want to share the results :) "The work was bought by my brother, but this is probably, from what I advised him, pushing the price. Well, in general, believe that you need to start something :D
Perhaps, if you do not mind in the future I will consult this with you yet .:shy:

I would like to replace the frame-work would be immediately struck up ...

Validating our responsive, contact.
But it seems to me that the pictures at the price of up to 1000 rubles. can buy without a council, if they like.
But if the issue will grow deeper if this picture is in the price and whether you can sell it more expensive? I'm afraid not.

Wait, that's open in Pskov gallery Piternsa Skaystkalnsa, his rannii work all will look. That is the price and grow.

What if he (the artist) will wake up famous? Or the owners of very famous people?
So unknown .. And in a luxury ipressionistskoy frame to another will look, .. Will show us if you replace?
or sfotoshopit "(who can) and see?
