Does CODART appraise works of art or judge attributions?
No, CODART is not equipped to do research of this kind. For appraisals, you should consult a reputable art dealer, appraiser or auction house. For the attribution of Dutch and Flemish art objects or questions regarding unknown date or subject of an art work, the RKD offers an evaluation service. You can also inquire at the nearest museum in your area if it offers this type of service.
