Checking Originality: Identification with Artificial Intelligence Test

In the quest to identify a match, Image Search employs advanced AI techniques to scour databases of images in order to find visually similar images. This is achieved through the use of various algorithms such as pattern recognition and machine learning. While some results may be considered as “matches” due to a clear similarity, other results may be inconclusive as they rely more on chance rather than any specific similarities. To conduct this test, a front-facing image was used as a reference to search for similar images on the internet.

The results of the automatic recognition are not conclusive. If a match is found, it will be shown below:

Age estimation

To accurately determine the age of an artwork, such as the original lithograph in colors signed by the artist on the stone Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) First Printing titled “Soeur Fanny Price” circa 1960, there are several methods that can be used. One way is to look at the frame construction. Depending on the type of frame used, one can get an indication of when the artwork may have been created. For example, framing styles that were popular in the 1960’s may be a good indication of the age of the artwork. Additionally, the color palette used in the artwork can also be an indication of its age. Artwork from the 1960’s tends to use bright, vibrant colors and this can be a good way of determining the age of the artwork. Finally, by looking at the artist’s body of work from the same time period, one can gain a better understanding of when the artwork may have been created. In the case of Pablo Picasso, his body of work from the 1960’s is well documented, making it easier to determine the age of the artwork in question.

Based on this information and the pictures provided, I can estimate this painting was made circa 1960.
