Horses in the style of sepia, how much it might cost?
 

In one case, the head of a horse, the signature is visible, the frame did in our time, the old was not fit anywhere, in the second case, a large kpuglaya picture with the horses, the frame of mind with a very old, round and unusual. Tell my how much it might cost if there are collectors who collect it, sold it when - something like that in auctions where - anything?

The second picture gives something Germanic mid 19 th century or later.

And the museum of horse breeding? Agricultural Academy in Moscow with an excellent museum, it is based on a collection of breeder YI Butovich, who's goal was to bring together the best examples of "horse genre" and "horse portrait."
Now the museum funds comprise more than 3500 paintings, graphic works, sculptures and applied art. Supplemented with the largest photocurrent (over 55,000 negatives), video library, extensive thematic collections of stamps, postcards and envelopes, badges, all sorts of souvenirs, they recreate in the visual images of the history and current state of the domestic horse. The library of the museum - more than 12000 books and magazines on horse breeding, from unique folios 16-18 Ages to modern Russian and foreign publications.
But in the exposition of some of the writings are greatest masters: Serov, Vrubel, Polenov, Vereshchagin, stressed.
But the bulk of the collection consists of works of those artists for whom the horse was not accidental, but a permanent object image. The museum presented the work of many local anamalistov and Infantrymen BP Villevalde, PN Georgia, AD Kivshenko, PO Kovalevsky, AP Orlovsky, PP Sokolov, PK Klodt, EA Lancere, MA Avilova, TP Gaponenko, MB Grekova, NS Samokysha and others. Of particular interest are the works of the founder of the animal in the direction of Russian art, NE Sverchkova (1817 - 1898). The museum has collected about 450 of his paintings, watercolors, drawings and lithographs.

I first met "style sepia
From Wikipedia:
Sepia - paint
Natural sepia was produced from the so-called ink sac marine mollusk - cuttlefish. We used European artists from the middle of XVIII century when drawing with pen and brush. Also called a kind of sepia graphic techniques, using shades of brown, has gained acceptance in Europe since the mid XVIII century. (O. Fragonard in France, etc.)

In the XX century. Sepia, diverse in color shades of paint watercolor type, is prepared by artificial means. Artificial sepia less resistant than natural.

[Edit] Sepia in photos
Natural Sepia sometimes used for toning photographs in brown. A side effect of sepia is the conversion of metallic silver in the sulfide, which is more resistant to fading. So many old black and white photos brown: they simply have more chances to survive until the present day.

Now photos sepia associated with the old. Almost all digital cameras and photo editor is a function of simulation of such photographs.

I was a child, when he first saw the horse's head (from my grandfather went to, he loved animals), I thought photography, only then realized that no, but did not understand how so much like to draw, and then learned about the sepia. Looks very nice and noble.

Heinrich Sperling fairly well-known artist, but decent prices observed in his work a decent size, oil

Horse, oil, very similar to yours, 30 x 27 cm, was sold in 1996 to 1,230 euros.
Graphics in the price of an order of magnitude lower. Work analochinye your horse went for 200 - 400 euros.
As for your second work, there pricelist above, I think 800 - 1000 euros. Prices are already taking into account the premium auction.
