Identifying artist signatures

[qualityrandomitems]

Does anyone have recommendations for people that properly identifies pieces of art work?  I am not too interested in assessed values, as they always tell you it is worth more than what it really is (they want you to feel good about paying them for this information, so you come back).  Some signatures are just really hard, like these two listings:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/323992410451 - I had a company look at this one and they were not successful in identifying.

Interesting that you've listed these without knowing assessed value nor names of painters.  How did you determine the asking prices?

Check out Vladimir Sergeyevich Pervuninsky (Владимир Сергеевич Первунинский) (Russian, born 1957) for your picnic painting.

Yes you got it! I saw these various versions but did't think the signature matched - not realizing it was cyrillic.  He's quite prolific, on FB, galleries, auction houses, etc.

Yes, it's him, signature and all. I see that Googling without the "Sergeyevich" brings up even more hits:

He has his own (Russian only) website:
