ULTRAVIOLET / MICROSCOPY / PROVENANCE / IR IMAGING / CATALOGUE RAISONNÉ /

Science meets art — and the conclusion is indisputable

We use a comprehensive approach to authentication: we combine visual analysis with modern research methods—from ultraviolet and infrared imaging to microscopy and provenance verification. This fusion of scientific precision and art historical insight allows us to formulate trusted conclusions.

Certificate RARE

We issue a certificate that reflects all key research data on the work—from the execution technique to confirmation in raisonné catalogues.

A numbered seal makes the certificate unique and protects it from counterfeiting.

For international use, a version of the certificate in any foreign language is available upon request.
