There is hundreds of these elders heads often said as St Paul's head or apostle's head and it is almost impossible to identify this one from such a bad photo. Can you attach a better one and if possible one of the back?

Thanks, saintmarc. As for appraisals, I usually suggest people look under "appraisers" in the phone book. Also, some galleries will offer a verbal opinion on a painting you bring in for a token amount, maybe $50 or so. I assume you would want to locate a gallery in your area that has experience buying and selling works of a similar type. Either way, there's no substitute for having an expert see the painting in person.
