It seems that this - the signature of the famous Austrian artist Hans Figures Hans Figura (1898 - 1978). He is known for its color etching, aquatint: perhaps the most expressive and impressive, but technically the most difficult type of engraving, in which printing is carried out by many boards - up to 10! For 1940 years is a complex art was "podmyato" color photo. Motives of works by Hans Figures - landscapes, predominantly urban. In 1920 - 1930-ies he has traveled almost all the major cities of Europe, was in America, and everywhere doing these kinds of cities and countries. I read that he wrote and butter, but the work of its oil is much weaker than the colored etchings.

sergejnowo, Thanks for the advice. I have no documents about the authenticity of the painting. Do we need them?
Another question about how after the purchase the buyer takes the picture? As it usually happens - comes to the house, waiting for the mail? ..

traveller, on the theory of probability, this author has not yet been counterfeited.
Ie if visually and by touch (the method of spear with a needle) the age of your work draws on 35 years and older, it is guaranteed to Hans Figura (1898 - 1978).
As the buyer will pick up work for a second time - by arrangement. The primary question of money.
It is important to trigger the principle of Ilf and Petrov - money in the morning, evening or night painting the money in the morning (next day) the picture.
