Rops, from Belgium, sells on 9 April 2017 a "Signed oil on canvas" View of a city, estimated at 600 to 800 Euro.
The signature and style of painting is that of J. Wilhelm Jankowsky (or Jankowski) (1825-1870), who painted landscapes (either real cities, like Venice or Prague, or Romantic imaginary ones).
His works fetch between 1,000 and 10,000 Euro.
The painting comes in a nice, probably original frame and should be worth 2,000 Euro.
UPDATE: sold for 950 Euro, above the highest estimate but still cheap!
UPDATE 2: now for sale at
Carlo Bonte on 21 March 2018 for 1,500 to 1,800 Euro, which seems reasonable.
UPDATE 3: apparently unsold, because again at
Bonte on 26 September, but with the original estimate of 500 to 800 Euro. These things are apparently less popular than I thought.
