GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Any statement as to authorship,attribution,
origin,date,age,provenance and condition
is a statement of opinion and is not to
be taken as a statement of fact.Sotheby
reserves the right, in order to form its
opinion,to consult an expert or any reliable
authority and to follow its judgment.

Lot sold).
The following are examples of the
terminology used in presenting the lots.
1. « Hubert Robert
»
In our opinion a work by the artist. When
the artist’s forename(s) is not known,
a series of asterisks, followed by the
surname of the artist, whether preceded
by an initial or not, indicates that in our
opinion the work is by the artist named.
The same effect is attached to the use
of the term“by” or “of” followed by the
designation of the author.
2. « Attributed to… Hubert Robert
»
In our opinion probably the work
was created at a time when the artist
mentioned was active and there are
serious grounds which lead to believe
that it is from the artist’s hand, but less
certainty as to authorship is expressed
than in the preceding category.
3. « Studio of … Hubert Robert »
In our opinion a work by an unknown
hand in the studio of the artist or may
have been executed under the artist’s
direction.
4. « Circle of … Hubert Robert »
In our opinion a work by an as yet
unidentified but distinct hand, closely
associated with the named artist but not
necessarily his pupil.
5. « Follower of… Hubert Robert »
In our opinion a work by an artist,
working in the style of the artist,
contemporary or close to his time but
not inevitably his pupil.
6. « In the manner of …Hubert Robert
»
In our opinion a work in the style of the
artist and of a later date.
7. « After … Hubert Robert
»
In our opinion a copy of a known work of
the artist.

and/or inscribed… Hubert Robert »
