Artwork can not be sold for a price in principle.

And why the "principle"? Well, not for 25 Hebrews sell ..
We order a portrait of a good modern artist, is almost the same tsena.Opyat interesting information on the artist, and its provenance is no .. no .. it is too negative.

We custom portraits of comely young women /bourgeois and their children's low liquidity. Banal. Looking for relatives of Madame - it is interesting mb.

Order a portrait worth the same money, because it is for themselves and for their descendants. But hang on a wall portrait of someone else - this is strange.
From experience you should proceed to write - portraits can hardly be sold.

Not all, but only similar. Example Kramskogo portrait or Repin or Arkhipova, etc. (only for artistic merit) - I would have bought. Or mb expressive sketch /sketch. A similar no. Although the offer of course should be - all have their own buyer.

Portrait of a hrosh.Zamechatelnoe letter, facial expression, eyes, vzglyad.Udivitelno see a woman who lived 120 years
