Art Question
So, cleaning out my dads attic we came across an old box of my grandmothers. She was an artist and collector.
Among the things in there were 2 drawings (looks like pastels) of ballerinas, maybe 5x7, on blocks of wood (maybe glued on to it). I noticed they were signed Degas. How do I find out if they are reproductions, or originals (wouldn't that be nice?) I tried looking online and found similar pics, but not the same....

Re: Art Question
No, I found one that is similar called "Dancer Adjusting Her Slipper", but its not exactly the same.
I mean, they are most likely reproductions of some sort, but being that my grandmother was a collector and had owned paintings and sculptures by famous artists, I want to be sure...
Here is a pic of the 2 I found...

Re: Art Question
The Appraisers Association will be able to refer to you someone who could tell you about the pics.

Re: Art Question
They are very nice, even if they aren't "worth" anything.
Good Luck,

Re: Art Question
They would be awesome if framed in old vintage frames and put in a littel girl's bedroom.
