Icon
 

Neighbors in the inherited icon on the board. Of course, they are convinced that it costs a huge amount of money, asked me to look, too.
Written on the blackboard, somewhere 35 to 40, a little shabby, written by so-so, it seemed to me that the red pigment is cadmium, t e 20 th century. So I said, in my opinion, no value is, the 20 th century, even the stars at the Virgin is not in the forehead lit from the side. And then I thought, but what I do understand about icons? can it still the 19 th century at least?
Look, please, speak out, who can.

How much does it cost?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Pochaevskaya Theotokos.
Turn of the 19/20 centuries. So to say "the people's icon
Written unprofessional, but very good.
Carefully and original.
Plus - the size of almost 2 times more analoynogo.
Up to 5 rubles is quite possible to gain for this image.
 Interestingly, where the paint came off - not whether the old layer of paint shows through?

Seriy, just as "any considerations. It is a pity that the price
redbor, called so low. I liked it: the artist, though self-taught (?), But with a skillful hand, and he knew what he was doing. Eyes, noses, jaws are made so that the outstanding masters of "school" (tradition). Who knew the tastes of consumers. And the color (if the picture accurately portrays) is well balanced. Mass culture, of course. But "a monument of culture", I think. Sorry, the market does not appreciate. But this will benefit the serious collector.

That is, collector. There are people-collecting - "the people's icon", but here an excellent example.
 So the price, as they say, "to fan" may be much higher ...

I think $ 200 after restoration will be our cost.

But such people are the subject of his collection to keep silent, for fear of cars such items.
It is only in German and Finnish collectors can fearlessly talk about their collections, "people" icon. :D
