About Dan Twyman
Expertise

I can answer questions about Salvador Dali. While I cannot do FREE APPRAISALS, I might be able to help you sell your works. I can also help with Chagall, Miro, Picasso and other 20th Century Masters.

Please do not give me a bad rating if I don't have info on your unknown artists works, as that makes no sense.) Questions about a type of art or medium can be answered with one response in most cases. Technical issues are easier to deal with than specifics about an artist. If you need help finding values or history on an artist, it will probably involve research that can sometimes take hours to complete. If you have more than one image to send, I will give you an alternate email address as this system cannot handle multiple images.

Fine Art - Lady of Castile painting


Expert: Dan Twyman - 6/27/2009

Question
How can I tell whether the painting is an original painting or not?

Answer
Look at various parts of the image using a loop/loup or magnifying glass. Look for printed dots or signs that it is printed. If you have an original, you should be able to see brush strokes. Some artists paint in a flat style/no brush stokes. Some prints are hand embellished giving the impression it is an original painting.

You might need to have it examined.
