The artist is Alfred Heinz Kettmann. There is some information about his work here: http://www.findartinfo.com/search/li...?keyword=43858. I'm sure you will be able to find more.

Of course, the other by Chagall is a print of the original that is in Venice. http://www.abcgallery.com/C/chagall/chagall81.html

Hope this helps.

The artist of the first one is A. H. Kettermann (Alfred Heinz Kettermann). There is a good deal of information about him on the Internet. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks, wtbooks. The Art Institute of Chicago also has a version of this painting, which is presumably the one in the print since he mentions the AIC in the video.

what about the worth?

If the first one is an original or at least an original print then maybe it's worth something. The second one looks like a simple reproduction of a famous painting, which wouldn't have much intrinsic value. Of course you can't say anything reliable about value without having an expert see it in person.
