    Default Romanian medals.... fixed.... to a painting...

    found this weird "work of art " at my local auction house.
    I got it for 30 euro's and was honestly ready to go much higher.
    I took the medals from the scene and to me the order of the star, is a neck order measuring 5 cm wide and marked "Gesch" on the bottom. And WWII issued.
    Correct me please if I am wrong.
    The painting is signed at the bottom Luli August Sturdza, I also would like to know who this was....?
