- Abstract
Drawing upon selected sources, the paper, presents the essential characteristics of connoisseurship in the 18th century, when the key questions were related to the quality of a work of art, its attribution, and discernment between the original and a copy. The medium of drawing was of paramount importance; it was possible for a connoisseur to judge from it on the characteristics and quality of original art production and to assess the oeu-vre of an artist without consulting archival documents. Of great help to connoisseurs were reproductive prints, the technique of which was then greatly improved and, with the greatest possible truth to originals, they could serve as a means of stylistic comparions.
