Bit naive faith in the signature as the experts a la Petrov . <! - ~ 1 ~ -> Did you know bearded expression: "despite the signature real thing ." <! - ~ 1 ~ -> Your case is just the opposite.
Probably heard the story about the signature on the paintings . Some have already served in this case. Ingenious businessmen purchased at Western auctions cheap , but pretty pictures , then supplied them with the signatures of Russian artists with demand . Then bought the experts a la Petrov papers allegedly confirming the authenticity of these artifacts and all that - "analysis" and pictures vparivali smug nouveau riche .
So look at the signature at the very least and in any case is critical.
Allow myself advice. Choose the best photo of the picture , put it between the photo originals decent resolution . In all likelihood it will be clear what constitutes your picture .
With regards to commercial prospects. Unfortunately, we do not really even buy portraits , the more anonymous , so if willing and able to find , the price will tend to the left, the aforesaid plug. On the right of this western auction price can rise up to the right edge .
