We looked for techniques known to have been used by the artist, the order in which the paints were applied, the type of brushstrokes-everything.
I'm not comfortable in calling it authentic or fake until further tests are run.
I feel very honoured to be part of the process of being able to authenticate a new work by Tarsila do Amaral. She is a legacy to Brazil.
The authentication process consisted of three parts: documentation survey, establishing a comparison database, and scientific tests like scanning, X-rays, and paint analysis.
