And why the "principle"? Well, not for 25 Hebrews sell ..
We order a portrait of a good modern artist, is almost the same tsena.Opyat interesting information on the artist, and its provenance is no .. no .. it is too negative.

[artcol]

We custom portraits of comely young women /bourgeois and their children's low liquidity. Banal. Looking for relatives of Madame - it is interesting mb.

[Konstantin]

Order a portrait worth the same money, because it is for themselves and for their descendants. But hang on a wall portrait of someone else - this is strange.
From experience you should proceed to write - portraits can hardly be sold.
