While a CoA can be a valuable document, they are also a commonly forged document so we rely on further documentation of provenance – the paper trail of previous ownership or record of sale – and study of the artwork to prove authenticity. The drawing was purchased from a reputable auction house, but not identified as a Hogarth.
Although each print from the same edition is initially sold for the same price, over time values can differ greatly on the secondary market depending on demand, rarity, condition, provenance and many other nuanced factors. Conversely, not all limited-edition prints of significant value bear the artist’s signature or edition number.

Valuation is based on replacement cost at the time of purchase, not current market value if bought now or its sentimental worth. Furthermore, if you work on an object where the artist is unknown, but you suspect they could still be living, try putting the emphasis on the client, they should have provenance records!
