Bukowski's sell on 21 April an Unknown Artist, signed Marine from 1898, estimated at 320 Euro and with a current high bid of 100 Euro. UPDATE: sold for 406 Euro, still cheap.
I guess they had trouble reading the signature, but it is a painting by Robert Landeryou, an obscure British painter born in 1836, date of death unknown but apparently after 1898, we may decide now. The only two other paintings by him I could find were also marines, one sold for $1,700 in 1999 and one for $4,250 in 2012. The latter one, pictured above, was larger and in better condition though. But if you like these kind of marines, or for some reason are interested in Landeryou, then this is your chance to get one cheap!
Yes, it is a nice painting, the one on top here, and rather cheap I guess. Looks nice on my wall.
