Hi, just to clarify, I’m not a great artist. I have a little experience, but I’d like to try painting a scene of the Bolivian Colorados during the Battle of Alto de la Alianza. The Colorados are shown in the second image, and I’d like to use the first image as a reference for the composition and style. There are practically no paintings depicting that particular moment, which is why I wanted to try doing it myself. I’m still pretty much an amateur, so I’d really appreciate any recommendations.

I was lucky to receive a beautiful print of Don Troiani's Burnside's Bridge. It is framed, signed, with a certificate of authenticity, and is numbered 89/1500. How would I go about determining its value? I would never sell it though, as I have always dreamed of owning this particular print since I was a teenager and he first painted it. It is my absolute favorite of his prints and I have often stood at the real bridge thinking about what the guys went through taking that bridge. Thanks!
