    signed, but by WHO? i can't read it. 'Maneke'? 'Manske'? it's a nice little gouache and it has age to it - maybe 1960s or 70s? this view is from a southern point of Rio - a different perspective than the traditional images.

      Solved! i found this on a page of South American artists: ' Reinaldo Manzke was born in Santa Catarina, Brazil in 1906 and died in Brazil in 1980. He was a well known Brazilian artist. He received many awards for his work. His first training as an artist was in the convent of Saint Antonio in Blumenau, under professor of drawing and painting Frei Genésio Hansen O.F.M. He later studied in São Paulo and Rio De Janeiro, dedicating himself especially to the medium of watercolor. His first individual exposition was in São Paulo, in 1939, repeating in 1945/46/48. He was awarded prizes by the National Museum of Fine Arts of Rio De Janeiro and by the government of São Paulo. Some information indicates that he may have sold his work directly to tourists in the hotels of Rio de Janeiro accounting for the fact that his art can be found fairly easily in the United States. He is mentioned in Painters of Brazil by Teodoro Braga and Davenport's Art Reference and Price Guide. Despite the fact that his work is very well done, it does not sell for great amounts in the US, so far.'

      My family have collection from this artist. My father would purchase them from his sister at the American Consulate in São Paulo in 1960s.

      How do we find out prices?

      I have several paintings by Manzke. They have mostly just decorative value. You can check completed auctions on eBay to see what they are selling for. He was very prolific and his work was common on eBay a few years ago. Not worth paying an appraisal fee.

      thank you kwqd! that's what i figured.

      I might be some years too late, but I'm his grandson, and, in an effort to honor his memory, I'm currently working on a short article on his life and his work. YsDesign and kwdq from the comments above, is there any chance we might get in touch? I'd be very interested in knowing any background on how his paintings got to the US. Even just some pictures of what you got would be very valuable to me. If there's any chance anyone reads this comment, you can contact me at matheus@manzke.dev. Thank you!
