With something like that, I'd say it was the artist's name that would decide whether it was collectible or not, rather than the subject matter. For example, there's bound to be a higher value if an artist like David Hockney or George Romney painted/drew it, rather than Joe Bloggs whom nobody has heard of. Art is like Celebrity in the sense that you're trading on a name, no matter how good the work actually is.
