Hello, this item is a reproduction painting after Wassily Kandinsky, based on the 1910 composition sometimes referred to as Angel over Russia. The brushwork, canvas construction, stretcher type, and surface texture differ from early twentieth century materials. The signature in the lower left does not match the placement, scale, or form used by Kandinsky during that period. The palette and line structure indicate that the painting follows a known printed image rather than an original work. The back of the canvas shows uniform aging that suggests mid to late twentieth century production, most likely created for decorative or academic purposes.
Reproductions after Kandinsky circulate widely and often reproduce early abstract compositions because of their bright colors and strong market appeal. These works have value as decorative art, but they do not carry market value associated with authenticated pieces. Verified paintings from 1910 are extremely rare and belong to museum level collections. Based on auction prices for hand painted reproductions in similar styles, the fair market value for this piece stands between 150 and 300 USD.
