Hi liriope,

I have located reference to this artist in a fee-based database. In
this database there is information pertaining to these nine paintings
of his:
                                                           
Retour des pêcheurs      
Les pêcheurs                      
Le retour des champs     
Devant le piano               
Route dans les champs   
Arrivée du train                 
Boukhara                           
Venise                               
Avant le concert       

A registered member would have access to the auction results of the
paintings that have been sold, and any other available information
regarding the artist.
   

Here is a free example of a painting (not sold): 

Title: Les pêcheurs  
Auction result: Not sold 
Estimate:  
Category: Painting    
Medium: Huile/toile

Auction house: Lesieur-Le Bars  
Dated:  
Lot number: 107  
Distinguishing marks: Signature  
Reproduction:

Would information on how to subscribe to this database interest you?

Regards,

Hi liriope,

Thank you for accepting my clarification as an answer to your question.

The database I found reference to Mikhail Kraev's artwork is Artprice.com

http://web.artprice.com/start.aspx?l=en


To view the different types of subscription, go to the following page:

http://web.artprice.com/client/subscriptionselect.aspx

If for instance, you feel you will only need this subsription for 1
day to gather the information you require on Mikhail Kraev, the price
would be $15.

This would include the information (if available) in the following categories:
Upcoming auctions
Biographies
Indexes
Signatures


This database is in English, as well other languages. However some of
the records, including the titles of various paintings, are in French
or another language, depending on the painter.


In my clarification, the French words in the example I gave are
translated as follows:

Title: Les pêcheurs (The fishermen)
Medium: Huile/toile (oil/fabric or canvas)
Location: Le Havre (a city in France)
Auction house: Lesieur-Le Bars (this is the name of the auction house
the painting is being sold at in Le Havre)


Here are the translations for the paintings:

Retour des pêcheurs - Return of the fishermen    
Les pêcheurs - The fishermen                     
Le retour des champs - The return of the fields    
Devant le piano - In front of the piano               
Route dans les champs - Road in the fields   
Arrivée du train - Arrival of the train                 
Boukhara - Bukhara                           
Venise - Venice                               
Avant le concert - Before the concert      


I hope the information provided is helpful. If you have any questions
regarding my answer please don't hesitate to ask before rating it.

Best regards,
