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.

What specific information can we obtain from this test?
I have chosen to determine this artwork as a print or lithograph because it is an original lithograph in color on thick Guarro paper. It is signed on the stone by the artist and was printed by Poligrafa in Spain in 1974. This artwork is of the highest quality and is a limited edition print. The lithographic process used to make this artwork ensures that all copies of the artwork are of the same quality and have the same detail as the original. It is an exquisite and valuable piece of art that is a testament to the skill and talent of the artist.
Age estimation
As an appraiser, I can determine the age of this painting by examining several key elements. Firstly, the signature of the artist, Joan Miro, indicates that the painting was created between 1893 and 1983, when the artist was active. Secondly, the edition number, ‘Mourlot 934’, indicates that the lithograph was printed in 1974. Furthermore, the paper used, ‘Guarro’, is a type of paper that was produced between the 1950s and 1980s. Finally, the printer, ‘Poligrafa’, was a Spanish printing house that was in operation from 1954 to 1975. Therefore, all these factors combined allow me to determine that the painting was created in 1974.
