    Hello all! I picked these two prints up from an auction house recently. I'm a little out of my comfort zone but I thought I would give them a try.

    The nude by Rodin was listed as a lithograph, is that correct? It doesn't have Rodin's sig on the plate, but is written in pencil (I'm assuming not by Rodin himself). The other by Odilon Redon, was described as a lino cut etching, again is this accurate? It does appear to have a little age to it, it as "E.A" which I believe is French for an artist's proof. It is of Ophelia. What do you think about these? Do they have any age and is the pencil underneath each from a big ole faker? Any and all info appreciated as always, thanks! :)

    Do I see a plate impression with these? If so, I don't see how the first could be a pochoir, nor a linocut on the second. Could be some kind of litho reproductions. Neither of these strike me as originals.

    Good to know, thank you! Yes, there appears to be plate impressions on both.

    The Odilon Redon was originally done as a pastel painting, early 20th century. Title is, Ophelia. I don't know how to post a link on my phone. I found no evidence that he created a print of it.

    Yes, me either. There doesn't seem to be any others around that I've found, odd!
