The artist is featured in Anatole Jakovsky's ''Peintres Naïfs'' which is considered the bible of 20th century French naïf painters. His works have sold for upto £5,000 at auction (Still Life of Fruit, Sotheby's, 30 November 2006). Artist: Rastislaw Racoff (French/Russian 1904-1982) Title: Still Life Medium: Oil on board Size: 20 x 17 inches including the frame After the Russian Revolution Ratislaw Racoff lived first in Northern China and then moved to Paris in 1929.
