<p>[QUOTE="MrNate, post: 309891, member: 5515"]Yeah, I'm super cautious to say "it can't be" or "it isn't" because I'd hate to stick my foot in my mouth. Personally, when I'm evaluating artwork I find, I really like to see correlation and similarity of other works. On one hand, you could potentially have the ONLY painting done by this artist (or at least the only painting known of). On the other hand, it's strange that other works wouldn't be available, even though the painting might not necessarily be a "master work."</p><p><br /></p><p>I get the sense whoever did this painting was very familiar with their capabilities and limitations, and worked to maximize the quality of their work without exposing some of the underlying weaknesses of their abilities. Juxtapose this with the catalogue works of Carmen, and the catalogued work suggests an affinity towards line perfection and symmetry. Personally, I'm finding it challenging to connect between the two styles more than anything else described above because the painting doesn't share the same perceptual qualities of the sketches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
