Re: 3 Paintings
Old portraits like this can be highly valuable, but really require the services of a specialist appraiser to detemine authenticity and origins. I'd suggest contacting one of the larger auction houses such as Bonham's, Sothebys or Christies, there is no way anyone can determine what you have from images.
