Abstract
The sleuth investigation of forgeries and radical restorations, introduced in an article in the Art Bulletin (see AATA 15-1453), is advanced by further evidence. Concordance tables document the usage of many motif punches in the restored areas of panel paintings, in the antique frames and in forged paintings. The existence of several pairs of very similar shapes of punches may possibly lead to setting apart a sub-group, on the presumption that still another, related forger patterned his tools on those belonging to Joni. -- AATA
