At Bukowski's, they sell a nice ca. 1900 painting, "In a hop garden", by an unknown artist. Luckily, the painting was signed, and it is clear that it is a small work by Peter Macnab, a probably Scottish artist active from the 1860 until about 1900-1910. Estimated at 300 Euro and currently only bid 40 Euro, it is a steal if you live in Sweden or can quite cheaply organise the shipping to your home address. His works, though often bigger and more finished (but perhaps for that reason less charming, this one is very direct, impressionist almost), fetch usually a few thousand pounds, and at least a few hundreds. This one should be worth close to £1,000, but the lack of attribution will make it probably fall short of this. UPDATE: sold for 98 Euro, someone got a very good bargain here!
