Gala, you have to decide: what you want. If you want to sell now, then, of course, is easier to do if a serious examination. A serious examination is indeed quite expensive, though, of course, not half the cost of painting, and 500 dollars (if I do say, in the Grabar Institute). However, if you contact the experts and the Confederation of Antiquaries artdilerov (the list was somewhere on this site), it will be twice as cheaper and five times faster.
If you just want to understand what you have to actually, you can post a picture with the description here on the forum, and I think you will get some answers that will help you understand the situation. In my opinion at this forum there are people enough to judge art.
