<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 2447091, member: 9204&quot;]I agree with 4to2 - what is suggesting to you that these are the same hand? Works of art can linked together or to certain artists by focusing on minute diagnostic details - the curl of an ear, the thickness of a serif. Larger aspects of the design could be a result of using the same model, or simply the hallmark of the more general style. The methodology itself was pioneered by Giovanni Morelli in the 19th century and later applied by John Beazley to Greek painted ceramics. It is a bit risky to apply to numismatics. Many of the details on coins would have been officially standardized by the issuing authority, making it difficult or even impossible to determine a particular engraver.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, unless you can point out distinct diagnostics and demonstrate their repetition throughout a series of dies (ie, this needs to be done AFTER a complete dies study), then you can&#039;t prove much.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
