Help identify the author
 

Good afternoon. I know nothing about this picture. Help identify the author. There is an inscription and the year 1929. Inherited from her grandmother in St. Petersburg.
Oil on canvas, size 0,6 to 0,6

J. or I. Rennie, Munchen, 1929?

The book is a failure :)

I also read how J. Rennie. The artist, apparently unknown, because no information about it has not found.

Tim, it would not be bad from the beginning to know that you want to do with your work.
For example, it is actually a family heirloom, to be restored and place it on your wall is already booked, it is one.
Want to sell something else. Do you think it is worth it to restore, this is the third.
Knowing your starting position is much easier to help you.
By items:
- A relic?
but a matter of principle and should try to identify the artist.
- To sell?
look for nothing else, there restoration will cost probably more expensive than the market price of work.
- Is it worth restoring?
See previous paragraphs .:)

This is not a family heirloom, restore will not. I know how much you can realistically sell. If cheap, then sell will not.

In your opinion, is quality work, or an amateur?
