Using high resolution photographs we examine and compare signatures on the paintings we are authenticating, with solidly recorded ones.
We also perform forensic signature examinations.
Finally, we use forensic digital photography analysis to determine if micro signatures are painted signatures, or digital distortions, or optical aberrations, or apophenia or pareidolia cases.
High resolution macro photos are required for signature work.
Goya usually just signed "Goya" with simple and unadorned letters. He also had a longer, more decorative signature of "Fran. de Goya," in which the tail of the final a curls around several times.
Goya also signed some of his etching plates, but his editions were not hand signed.
If you want to determine if a Goya signature is authentic, please send a sharp closeup of it.
Examination - We offer on-site evaluations of artworks at various locations, including your home, office, bank, attorney’s office, art storage facility, or even at your hotel while you travel. Our services extend to art galleries, auction houses, government agencies, customs ports, law enforcement offices, and warehouses. We are also available for evaluations at places of worship, organizational venues, clubs, libraries, colleges, museums, and conservator studios or labs. Please note that, for insurance and liability reasons, we do not conduct evaluations at our own premises.
