How do I tell if a Maxfield Parrish print is original?
1 Answer

To tell if a Maxfield Parrish print is original, consider its condition and appearance. Replicas tend to appear brand new and have a glossy, vinyl-like look. Originals are more likely to seem aged, and their colors are generally duller. Because it can be difficult to authenticate Maxfield Parrish's work independently, you may wish to use the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer.
