Primed sheet, fine brush
Oil paint on paper requires preparation, because paper otherwise soaks up the oil and forms halos. If you want photorealistic oil paintings on paper for sale under 500 euro, you find works that show technical precision in a light format.
So that oil does not sink into the paper, the sheet is primed beforehand or given a barrier layer. After that one can work finely as on canvas, though on a smoother ground. Details such as fur, water drops and chrome become especially sharp.

Frame and mat
Oil pictures on paper hang best behind glass with a gap to the sheet, so nothing sticks. A white mat lets the motif rest. Avoid damp and sun, since paper moves.
Worth asking
Ask about the priming, dimensions in centimeters and whether the work is already framed. The condition of the edges is also a good sign of the care taken. Incidentally, paper shows every touch sooner than canvas. Handle the sheet only by the edges with clean hands, and let it acclimate for a few hours after unpacking.
