[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 9568447, member: 56"]How big are these images, and what are they painted on? The fact that you found two with significant differences between them suggests that these were hand painted. If they were reproductions, they should look the same. I'd want to see a close up of these "black dots" you refer to. A dot matrix is an indication of photolithography, but if so, it would be expected throughout the image. Dots might just be stippling. Neither seems close enough to the original to suggest an overpainted photo reproduction. Brushstrokes may make it easier to say this is painted, but lack of them doesn't necessarily mean it isn't, and finishes can be applied to a print that give the appearance of brushstrokes. There are many ways to apply an image to a surface. Clear, tight close-ups might be useful.[/QUOTE]
