One thing that occured to me today when I was looking at the page for the Sokolov paintings: The currency of the Empire seems to be quite inconsistent: The Sokolov paintings are considered to be really valuable and you'd assume that only rich people/aristocrats could afford them. They are 300 coins. But then again, the menues found at the Hound Pits Pub and the Rothwild Slaughterhouse show that for a meal you pay like 6-8 coins, for some items at the Hound Pits Pub even more. And those don't seem as if it was well-off aristocrats eating there. So either the paintings are not valuable at all, or living in Dunwall is pretty expensive.

Or on second thought, in times of plague there's no big demand for paintings, while food is rare and expensive. But still the ratio seems kinda weird.
