The military painting, looks a later copy in my opinion, but still looks well done, as you can see the good detail in the hands. The second looks just right and worth a considerable ammount, maybe worth what I am paying for the pair, how do you rate it?

how do you rate it?

as I said...........need to see the back of the painting

Well, he said he asked an auctionner, and said the military painting, was valued at £800 - £1200, so looks like I have lost this one.
