The cataloguing terms that we use have the following meanings; where the bold coloured text which forms the listing's heading reads 'by' and is followed by the artist's full name (or the artist's initials, if his full name is unrecorded), the work is in our opinion by the artist; where the expression "attributed to" is used, the work is in our opinion possibly a work by the artist, in whole or in part; where the expression 'circle of' is used, the work is in our opinion a work of the period of the artist and showing his influence; where the expression 'follower of' is used, the work is in our opinion a work executed in the artist's style but not necessarily by a pupil; where the expression 'manner of' is used, the work is in our opinion a work executed in the artist's style but of a later date; where the term "after" is used, the work is in our opinion a copy or pastiche (of any date) of a work by the artist. Where the term 'signed...' is used in our opinion the work has been signed by the artist, where the term 'with signature...' or 'bears signature...' is used in our opinion the signature is by a hand other than that of the artist.
