Help deal with the authorship of paintings.
Watercolor with whiting, a German paper with water marks in the form of mesh, size 45 cm x 37 cm frame own work should never be removed. He pulled out just now for restoration work and the frame.
The picture shows the castle, built in the late 14 th century, - the summer tasting Verminskih bishops in Lidzbark Warmia, Poland (before the Second World War the city was called Heilsberg and was part of Prussia, and before that belonged to the bishop of Warmia).
There are many images of the castle, including those with such a perspective. As it can be assumed that the picture painted in the early 20 th century, probably in the 10 th - 20 th years.
Artist (by signature) - E.K. Lange.

Unfortunately, I can not see them because they do not have access to this resource.
2) Emil Lange (1841-1926), better known as an architect.
It is possible that there are artists with that name and initials, worked around the time of writing the picture.
German I do not know, so really hope to help those who owns it, and knows the history of Prussia.
Painting without the glass is much more lush and saturated colors.
